About This E-Rated Property

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 B rating (82/100).

The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1713, comprising £1370 for heating, £198 for hot water, and £145 for lighting. The property produces 8.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
