About This Property

This semi-detached flat is located in WOLVERHAMPTON, WV6 7JP. The property offers 4.25m² (46 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £567, comprising £243 for heating, £257 for hot water, and £67 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. 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.
