About This Property
This detached house is located in WOLVERHAMPTON, WV3 9DR. The property offers 153m² (1647 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). 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.

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 £1430, comprising £1076 for heating, £235 for hot water, and £119 for lighting. The property produces 7.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
