This terraced flat is located in LONDON, SW6 5BL. The property offers 33m² (355 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). 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. 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 £820, comprising £614 for heating, £175 for hot water, and £31 for lighting. The property produces 2.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2023 for £421,175. 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.
