About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in YORK, YO61 1DG. The property offers 143mยฒ (1539 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property has an EPC rating of E (51/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 ยฃ1452, comprising ยฃ1138 for heating, ยฃ176 for hot water, and ยฃ138 for lighting. The property produces 8.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2020 for ยฃ457,000.
