About This Property

This terraced house is located in LEYBURN, DL8 4QF. The property offers 76mยฒ (818 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100).

The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ707, comprising ยฃ485 for heating, ยฃ155 for hot water, and ยฃ67 for lighting. The property produces 2.2 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.
