At a Glance
This terraced house is located in LANCASTER, LA2 0EF. The property offers 99m² (1066 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. 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 (78/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1464, comprising £1048 for heating, £346 for hot water, and £70 for lighting. The property produces 5.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2024 for £300,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
