About This Property

This terraced house is located in WATFORD, WD19 6YA. The property offers 69m² (743 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (77/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (91/100). 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £1804, comprising £1187 for heating, £504 for hot water, and £113 for lighting. The property produces 2.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in May 2016 for £369,995.
