About This Property

This terraced flat is located in BOLTON, BL1 7RT. The property offers 26m² (280 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is built during the 1980s construction period. 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 (73/100). 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.

The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £483, comprising £194 for heating, £266 for hot water, and £23 for lighting. The property produces 3.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
