About This Property

This detached house is located in TUNBRIDGE WELLS, TN2 5LT. The property offers 207m² (2228 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £1802, comprising £1531 for heating, £130 for hot water, and £141 for lighting. The property produces 7.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average 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.
