About This Property

This terraced flat is located in COVENTRY, CV3 5AD. The property offers 48m² (517 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (70/100), meeting the government's target standard 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 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 £521, comprising £386 for heating, £81 for hot water, and £54 for lighting. The property produces 1.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
