About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B14 7TF. The property offers 114m² (1227 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (53/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1510, comprising £1257 for heating, £119 for hot water, and £134 for lighting. The property produces 6.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2016 for £250,000.
