About This E-Rated Property
This semi-detached house is located in MIRFIELD, WF14 9HR. The property offers 117m² (1259 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (46/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal 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 £3060, comprising £2309 for heating, £562 for hot water, and £189 for lighting. The property produces 15.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2024 for £130,000.
