About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in SHEFFIELD, S2 5PY. The property offers 61.32m² (660 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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. 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 £579, comprising £445 for heating, £101 for hot water, and £33 for lighting. The property produces 3.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2016 for £110,000. 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.
