About This Property
This terraced flat is located in STANLEY, DH9 7TF. The property offers 25.5m² (274 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (76/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £345, comprising £252 for heating, £80 for hot water, and £13 for lighting. The property produces 1.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
