📅 Upcoming Regulation Change — Plan Ahead

About This E-Rated Property

This terraced house is located in BACUP, OL13 0TF. The property offers 109m² (1173 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. 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 C rating (70/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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. 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 £1690, comprising £1474 for heating, £100 for hot water, and £116 for lighting. The property produces 7.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2016 for £65,000.
