About This Property

This terraced house is located in London, E7 0DR. The property offers 93m² (1001 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). 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 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 £1709, comprising £1379 for heating, £209 for hot water, and £121 for lighting. The property produces 4.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
