About This Property

With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

The property produces 7.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard.
