About This Property

With an EPC rating of D (64/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100).

The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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.

The property last sold in September 2017 for £198,000. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard.
