Hi,
I am thinking of renovating a 1930's ish four bedroom terrace property as a potential investment opportunity.
Read about some new regulations coming in where properties cannot be rented unless have an EPC rating of C or higher.
I think the property may have solid wall rather than cavity wall. See example brick layout I have attached.
Have a few questions looking for some advice on please:
1. From the picture I have attached showing the external brickwork design, does it look to be solid wall and not cavity?
2. If I hired someone to install internal solid wall insulation, presume I would only need to do this on the external walls and not the side walls (due to being a terraced) or other internal walls?
3. I am aware will lose about 4 inches of space with internal solid wall insulation, but there are any other disadvantages?
4. Would it be hard to hang anything heavy such as shelves or fit a tv to the walls that are internally insulated afterwards?
5. Can you share any indicative average costs for this?
Thanks in advance or any comments, thoughts and recommendations.
