About This E-Rated Property
This detached bungalow is located in SEATON, EX12 2JS. The property offers 71m² (764 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. The property has an EPC rating of E (52/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. 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 £1392, comprising £1083 for heating, £207 for hot water, and £102 for lighting. The property produces 6.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2022 for £340,000.
