About This Property

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, NW5 2RB. The property offers 68mยฒ (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 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 (76/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 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 ยฃ1,000-ยฃ3,000 depending on access and method. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ717, comprising ยฃ575 for heating, ยฃ90 for hot water, and ยฃ52 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
