The property has an EPC rating of E (39/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (93/100). The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1108, comprising £788 for heating, £284 for hot water, and £36 for lighting. The property produces 3.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in April 2021 for £53,000. For landlords: This property currently meets the minimum E rating requirement under MEES regulations.
