First Floor Flat, 2 Cropley Street

Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached flat is located in LONDON, N1 7PR. The property offers 123m² (1324 sq ft) of spacious living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated G (11/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a F rating (36/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £2605, comprising £2187 for heating, £304 for hot water, and £114 for lighting. The property produces 16.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
