About This Property

This terraced maisonette is located in BRIGHTON, BN1 4AF. The property offers 89mยฒ (958 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), 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 ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 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 ยฃ966, comprising ยฃ716 for heating, ยฃ151 for hot water, and ยฃ99 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
