What a home of this era typically means

Cavity walls are common but frequently uninsulated as built.
Some homes of this era are “non-traditional” (concrete or steel-frame) construction — a few types can complicate mortgage lending, so confirm the build type.

Energy & running costs

What 1 Benchfield Gardens's Energy Performance Certificate says about efficiency, cost and construction.

EPC band F (28/100) — improvable to C

Heating, hot water and lighting estimated at about £1,546 a year. The certificate expired in 2026 — the seller needs a new EPC to market the home.

Worth checking

!The certificate expired in 2026 — the seller needs a new EPC to market the home, and the property may have changed since the assessment.

!Band F puts this home among the least efficient — minimum-energy-standard rules already bar most F/G lettings, and tighter rules are proposed.
