About This E-Rated Property

This detached house is located in MIDDLESBROUGH, TS7 0RE. The property offers 136.3m² (1467 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £1335, comprising £1040 for heating, £170 for hot water, and £125 for lighting. The property produces 8.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in April 2015 for £265,000.
