About This Property

This detached flat is located in BRADFORD, BD5 7UE. The property offers 59m² (635 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (70/100).

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 £524, comprising £321 for heating, £146 for hot water, and £57 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
