About This Property

This detached flat is located in LONDON, N7 8AT. The property offers 37.25m² (401 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100).

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 £494, comprising £381 for heating, £73 for hot water, and £40 for lighting. The property produces 2.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
