About This Property

This detached flat is located in NORWICH, NR3 4JB. The property offers 39m² (420 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. 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 C rating (76/100). 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. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £587, comprising £369 for heating, £172 for hot water, and £46 for lighting. The property produces 3.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
