About This Property
This terraced flat is located in LUTON, LU4 9XH. The property offers 46m² (495 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (74/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating.

Estimated annual energy costs are £448, comprising £271 for heating, £130 for hot water, and £47 for lighting. The property produces 2.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
