Flat 55, Eresby House

Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, SW7 1BG. The property offers 131m² (1410 sq ft) of spacious living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. 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 flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £3106, comprising £2757 for heating, £190 for hot water, and £159 for lighting. The property produces 6.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
