About This E-Rated Property

This terraced house is located in SWANSEA, SA2 0QB. The property offers 113m² (1216 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. 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 B rating (84/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1341, comprising £1083 for heating, £121 for hot water, and £137 for lighting. The property produces 5.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2016 for £255,000.
