This terraced flat is located in LONDON, N5 2XB. The property offers 29mยฒ (312 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (54/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs ยฃ400-ยฃ600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ585, comprising ยฃ447 for heating, ยฃ118 for hot water, and ยฃ20 for lighting. The property produces 2.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2018 for ยฃ290,000. For landlords: This property currently meets the minimum E rating requirement under MEES regulations. However, the government has proposed increasing the minimum to C by 2028 for new tenancies and 2030 for existing tenancies, so consider planning upgrades now.
