About This Property

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, SE3 7AE. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (58/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £662, comprising £512 for heating, £117 for hot water, and £33 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. 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.
