About This Property
This terraced house is located in WHITCHURCH, SY13 3NE. The property offers 125m² (1346 sq ft) of spacious living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (74/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (95/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. 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 £2026, comprising £1590 for heating, £265 for hot water, and £171 for lighting. The property produces 2.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
