About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in Derby, DE23 8BQ. The property offers 35m² (377 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of A (105/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating.

Estimated annual energy costs are £600, comprising £287 for heating, £225 for hot water, and £88 for lighting. The property produces 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
