About This Property

This terraced house is located in LONDON, SE18 5HT. The property offers 88m² (947 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of B (88/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (97/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The flat roof has poor insulation.

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 £1696, comprising £1313 for heating, £245 for hot water, and £138 for lighting. The property produces 1.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home. The property last sold in January 2016 for £375,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
