About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in DUNSTABLE, LU6 2EQ. The property offers 206m² (2217 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. The property has an EPC rating of E (45/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). 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 £2138, comprising £1218 for heating, £787 for hot water, and £133 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2020 for £715,000.
