About This Property

This terraced flat is located in LEEDS, LS5 3LJ. The property offers 94m² (1012 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (78/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation.

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 £1012, comprising £699 for heating, £184 for hot water, and £129 for lighting. The property produces 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
