About This Property

This terraced house is located in SHREWSBURY, SY1 4BE. The property offers 84m² (904 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.
