About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in LEIGH-ON-SEA, SS9 3HU. The property offers 79.1m² (851 sq ft) of modest-sized 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. 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 pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 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 £1137, comprising £814 for heating, £232 for hot water, and £91 for lighting. The property produces 6.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in May 2018 for £520,000.
