About This Property
This detached flat is located in ST. HELENS, WA9 2PU. The property offers 49m² (527 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £721, comprising £482 for heating, £192 for hot water, and £47 for lighting. The property produces 2.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2024 for £65,000. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
