About This Property

This detached house is located in TAMWORTH, B79 9JL. The property offers 142m² (1528 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of A (130/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2039, comprising £1694 for heating, £245 for hot water, and £100 for lighting.
