About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in RIPLEY, DE5 3SB. The property offers 78.84m² (849 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (48/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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 £1036, comprising £742 for heating, £202 for hot water, and £92 for lighting. The property produces 6.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
