This terraced flat is located in LONDON, W11 2NP. The property offers 137mยฒ (1475 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. 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 (70/100). 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 ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 ยฃ400-ยฃ600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ1591, comprising ยฃ1283 for heating, ยฃ158 for hot water, and ยฃ150 for lighting. The property produces 7.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. For landlords: This property currently meets the minimum E rating requirement under MEES regulations. However, the government has proposed increasing the minimum to C by 2028 for new tenancies and 2030 for existing tenancies, so consider planning upgrades now.
