About This Property
This detached flat is located in PRESTON, PR5 6SZ. The property offers 62m² (667 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), 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 property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £777, comprising £402 for heating, £290 for hot water, and £85 for lighting. The property produces 2.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2021 for £97,000.
