About This Property

This semi-detached flat is located in SHREWSBURY, SY1 1NX. The property offers 59m² (635 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency.

The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £973, comprising £613 for heating, £306 for hot water, and £54 for lighting. The property produces 2.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2022 for £185,000. 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.
