About This E-Rated Property

This semi-detached house is located in DONCASTER, DN5 8SA. The property offers 74.76mยฒ (805 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. 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 D rating (55/100). 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 ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 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 ยฃ1,000-ยฃ3,000 depending on access and method. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ915, comprising ยฃ772 for heating, ยฃ82 for hot water, and ยฃ61 for lighting. The property produces 4.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
