At a Glance
This semi-detached flat is located in FOLKESTONE, CT19 4EU. The property offers 48m² (517 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). 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 flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £894, comprising £305 for heating, £542 for hot water, and £47 for lighting. The property produces 5.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
With an energy efficiency score of 61/100, this FOLKESTONE property is around the national average for UK homes. Annual energy costs of £894 are approximately £906 below the UK average of £1800, representing significant savings. With 48m² of space, this is a more compact property compared to the UK average of 87m².
