At a Glance
This terraced flat is located in NEWCASTLE, ST5 2RW. The property offers 29m² (312 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency.

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 £416, comprising £298 for heating, £92 for hot water, and £26 for lighting. The property produces 1.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
