About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in SITTINGBOURNE, ME10 2QP. The property offers 94.47m² (1017 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (63/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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 £877, comprising £619 for heating, £175 for hot water, and £83 for lighting. The property produces 4.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate 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.
