About This Property

This semi-detached flat is located in CLACTON-ON-SEA, CO15 1AY. The property offers 51m² (549 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £731, comprising £480 for heating, £208 for hot water, and £43 for lighting. The property produces 2.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2020 for £145,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
