About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in LONDON, W3 9RD. The property offers 188m² (2024 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), 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 £1115, comprising £922 for heating, £78 for hot water, and £115 for lighting. The property produces 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
