About This E-Rated Property

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, W11 1BE. The property offers 32mยฒ (344 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (45/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (57/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ872, comprising ยฃ674 for heating, ยฃ169 for hot water, and ยฃ29 for lighting. The property produces 3.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
