About This Property

This semi-detached flat is located in NORTHAMPTON, NN2 8TH. The property offers 48.2m² (519 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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 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 £585, comprising £252 for heating, £285 for hot water, and £48 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in April 2020 for £100,000. 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.
