About This E-Rated Property
This detached bungalow is located in BUCKINGHAM, MK18 3NJ. The property offers 126.76m² (1364 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (54/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (65/100). 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 roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1406, comprising £1009 for heating, £261 for hot water, and £136 for lighting. The property produces 8.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
