About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in DURHAM, DH6 1NJ. The property offers 145m² (1561 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (90/100). 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £2079, comprising £1616 for heating, £293 for hot water, and £170 for lighting. The property produces 7.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
