About This Property

This terraced house is located in LONDON, SW12 9QN. The property offers 280m² (3014 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). 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 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 £1958, comprising £1657 for heating, £116 for hot water, and £185 for lighting. The property produces 9.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in January 2023 for £2,200,000.
