About This Property

This terraced house is located in LONDON, SE4 2BH. The property offers 152m² (1636 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). 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 £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1453, comprising £1241 for heating, £132 for hot water, and £80 for lighting. The property produces 6.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
