About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in ST. ALBANS, AL2 2EX. The property offers 219m² (2357 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). 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 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 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 £3370, comprising £2806 for heating, £464 for hot water, and £100 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
