About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in MELTON MOWBRAY, LE13 0AG. The property offers 131m² (1410 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (45/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £4523, comprising £3660 for heating, £606 for hot water, and £257 for lighting. The property produces 9.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2023 for £350,000.
