About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in STOKE-ON-TRENT, ST4 5NA. The property offers 73m² (786 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (43/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (87/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1183, comprising £772 for heating, £339 for hot water, and £72 for lighting. The property produces 5.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
