About This Property

This terraced flat is located in ASHBY DE LA ZOUCH, LE65 2US. The property offers 77m² (829 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. 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 (72/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. 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. 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 £758, comprising £507 for heating, £145 for hot water, and £106 for lighting. The property produces 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2023 for £148,000. 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.
