About This Property

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, E13 9LX. The property offers 72m² (775 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100).

Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1143, comprising £697 for heating, £336 for hot water, and £110 for lighting. The property produces 3.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
