About This Property

This terraced house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B30 2RB. The property offers 78m² (840 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (63/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 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 £853, comprising £668 for heating, £98 for hot water, and £87 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in January 2020 for £180,000.
