About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in LITTLEBOROUGH, OL15 0HL. The property offers 116m² (1249 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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. 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 £1740, comprising £1509 for heating, £110 for hot water, and £121 for lighting. The property produces 8.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in January 2022 for £208,000, with 3 recorded sales in our database.
