About This E-Rated Property
This semi-detached house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B14 7AS. The property offers 196m² (2110 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (53/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (60/100). 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 flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £2088, comprising £1835 for heating, £105 for hot water, and £148 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2015 for £368,000.
