About This Property

This terraced flat is located in SANDY, SG19 2NP. The property offers 49.5m² (533 sq ft) of compact living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The solid walls lack insulation.

The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1208, comprising £1028 for heating, £115 for hot water, and £65 for lighting. The property produces 6.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. 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.
