About This E-Rated Property

This terraced house is located in LONDON, SE4 1AQ. The property offers 96.34m² (1037 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (44/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £1232, comprising £1058 for heating, £100 for hot water, and £74 for lighting. The property produces 6.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. For landlords: This property currently meets the minimum E rating requirement under MEES regulations. However, the government has proposed increasing the minimum to C by 2028 for new tenancies and 2030 for existing tenancies, so consider planning upgrades now.
