About This Property
This terraced flat is located in Newcastle Upon Tyne , NE2 1DJ. The property offers 73m² (786 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1992, comprising £1527 for heating, £360 for hot water, and £105 for lighting. The property produces 3.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
