About This Property
This terraced house is located in HITCHIN, SG5 1TD. The property offers 66m² (710 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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, 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 £1741, comprising £1420 for heating, £212 for hot water, and £109 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
