About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in LONDON, SE12 8BW. The property offers 169m² (1819 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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 £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £2240, comprising £1772 for heating, £263 for hot water, and £205 for lighting. The property produces 4.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
