About This Property
This terraced house is located in LONDON, N5 2JH. The property offers 172m² (1851 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1323, comprising £1037 for heating, £168 for hot water, and £118 for lighting.
