About This Property
This terraced flat is located in LONDON, N5 2JE. The property offers 41m² (441 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard 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.
