About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in MANCHESTER, M16 9NX. The property offers 110m² (1184 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £1101, comprising £909 for heating, £111 for hot water, and £81 for lighting. The property produces 5.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2020 for £346,000.
