About This Property
This detached flat is located in LEYBURN, DL8 3FB. The property offers 41m² (441 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £449, comprising £284 for heating, £129 for hot water, and £36 for lighting. The property produces 1.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
