About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in SUNDERLAND, SR4 9JU. The property offers 114m² (1227 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1402, comprising £986 for heating, £319 for hot water, and £97 for lighting. The property produces 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2018 for £199,950.
