About This Property

This terraced flat is located in LUTON, LU1 5AF. The property offers 68m² (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1202, comprising £889 for heating, £243 for hot water, and £70 for lighting. The property produces 4.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. 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.
