About This Property
This flat is located in LONDON, E2 8RS. The property offers 45.09m² (485 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (75/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating.
