About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in BRISTOL, BS9 2QE. The property offers 41m² (441 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (58/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1606, comprising £718 for heating, £802 for hot water, and £86 for lighting. The property produces 2.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. 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.
