About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in Oswestry, SY11 3EQ. The property offers 67m² (721 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of B (82/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (100/100). 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. 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 £989, comprising £177 for heating, £563 for hot water, and £249 for lighting. The property produces 1.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
