This terraced flat is located in LONDON, E16 1PX. The property offers 45.87m² (494 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property has an EPC rating of E (48/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £659, comprising £313 for heating, £298 for hot water, and £48 for lighting. The property produces 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
