About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in CALLINGTON, PL17 7PW. The property offers 74m² (797 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (41/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (70/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1783, comprising £1287 for heating, £419 for hot water, and £77 for lighting. The property last sold in August 2022 for £200,000.
