About This Property

This terraced house is located in LEICESTER, LE6 0JA. The property offers 62m² (667 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (87/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 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 £810, comprising £659 for heating, £84 for hot water, and £67 for lighting. The property produces 3.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2020 for £380,000. 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.
