About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in NORTHWOOD, HA6 2PF. The property offers 188m² (2024 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (44/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £2066, comprising £1730 for heating, £196 for hot water, and £140 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
