About This Property
This terraced flat is located in LONDON, W2 3HS. The property offers 239m² (2573 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. 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. 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 £2338, comprising £1992 for heating, £124 for hot water, and £222 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
