About This Property
This terraced house is located in HEYWOOD, OL10 3DL. The property offers 63m² (678 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 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 B rating (82/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £664, comprising £515 for heating, £78 for hot water, and £71 for lighting. The property produces 3.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2022 for £125,000.
