About This E-Rated Property
This semi-detached house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B32 1DA. The property offers 104.75m² (1128 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (59/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £1270, comprising £1019 for heating, £151 for hot water, and £100 for lighting. The property produces 6.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2021 for £295,000.
