This flat is located in LONDON, NW5 3ER. The property offers 22m² (237 sq ft) of compact living space. The property has an EPC rating of E (53/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. 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 £547, comprising £381 for heating, £134 for hot water, and £32 for lighting. The property produces 2.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
