About This E-Rated Property

This terraced house is located in LONDON, E8 3LP. The property offers 132mยฒ (1421 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (51/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 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 ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 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 ยฃ1549, comprising ยฃ1324 for heating, ยฃ124 for hot water, and ยฃ101 for lighting. The property produces 7.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2021 for ยฃ1,550,000.
