About This Property

This flat is located in ENFIELD, EN2 8HF. The property offers 51m² (549 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £1269, comprising £838 for heating, £385 for hot water, and £46 for lighting. The property produces 0.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2016 for £295,000. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
