About This Property

This terraced flat is located in PLYMOUTH, PL4 0DY. The property offers 81m² (872 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £1470, comprising £1175 for heating, £181 for hot water, and £114 for lighting. The property produces 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low 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.
