About This Property
This flat is located in ROCHDALE, OL11 1HL. The property offers 59.45m² (640 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The solid walls lack insulation.

Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £530, comprising £408 for heating, £81 for hot water, and £41 for lighting. The property produces 2.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
