About This Property

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, N2 8BS. The property offers 77m² (829 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (75/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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. 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 £560, comprising £382 for heating, £103 for hot water, and £75 for lighting. The property produces 2.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2022 for £320,000.
