About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in MANCHESTER, M21 9DS. The property offers 53m² (570 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1449, comprising £951 for heating, £369 for hot water, and £129 for lighting. The property produces 4.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2024 for £232,000. 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.
