About This Property
This terraced maisonette is located in LANCING, BN15 8PY. The property offers 68m² (732 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 (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (70/100). 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. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £836, comprising £662 for heating, £109 for hot water, and £65 for lighting. The property produces 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2025 for £267,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
