About This Property

This terraced flat is located in ST. LEONARDS-ON-SEA, TN37 6PA. The property offers 42m² (452 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). 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. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £652, comprising £424 for heating, £189 for hot water, and £39 for lighting. The property produces 2.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in May 2024 for £160,000. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
