About This Property
This terraced flat is located in CHELMSFORD, CM1 6FJ. The property offers 48m² (517 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average 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. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £582, comprising £406 for heating, £131 for hot water, and £45 for lighting. The property produces 3.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
