About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in YORK, YO10 5EF. The property offers 168m² (1808 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1427, comprising £970 for heating, £320 for hot water, and £137 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in January 2020 for £323,000.
