About This Property
This terraced house is located in HAWES, DL8 3QA. The property offers 82m² (883 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (58/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £1505, comprising £1113 for heating, £262 for hot water, and £130 for lighting. The property produces 5.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
