About This E-Rated Property

This detached house is located in ORMSKIRK, L39 3LU. The property offers 169m² (1819 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (44/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £2184, comprising £1933 for heating, £132 for hot water, and £119 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2021 for £375,000.
