About This Property

This semi-detached bungalow is located in BRIGHTON, BN2 7FE. The property offers 92m² (990 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £805, comprising £640 for heating, £86 for hot water, and £79 for lighting. The property produces 4.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2018 for £367,000.
