About This Property

This terraced house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B6 6HT. The property offers 176m² (1894 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of A (96/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £2061, comprising £1299 for heating, £470 for hot water, and £292 for lighting. The property produces 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.

How Does 231 Bevington Road Compare?

At 176m², this property is significantly larger than the average UK home (87m²). CO2 emissions of 0.5 tonnes/year are less than half the UK household average, making this an environmentally friendly choice.
