About This Property

This terraced flat is located in POTTERS BAR, EN6 3EL. The property offers 50m² (538 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £735, comprising £505 for heating, £171 for hot water, and £59 for lighting. The property produces 3.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2020 for £245,000. 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.
