About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in CASTLEFORD, WF10 5FG. The property offers 94.63m² (1019 sq ft) of good-sized living space. The property has an EPC rating of E (52/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. Estimated annual energy costs are £832, comprising £562 for heating, £187 for hot water, and £83 for lighting. The property produces 3.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2016 for £155,000.
