About This E-Rated Property

This detached bungalow is located in PETERBOROUGH, PE4 6SJ. The property offers 79.11mยฒ (852 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (52/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (59/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ998, comprising ยฃ800 for heating, ยฃ120 for hot water, and ยฃ78 for lighting. The property produces 5.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2017 for ยฃ210,000.
