About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in NELSON, BB9 6NN. The property offers 122.1m² (1314 sq ft) of spacious living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (39/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. 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 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 £1731, comprising £1350 for heating, £320 for hot water, and £61 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
