About This E-Rated Property

This detached house is located in the SA6 5TA postcode area. The property offers 156mยฒ (1679 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (47/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 ยฃ1436, comprising ยฃ1088 for heating, ยฃ175 for hot water, and ยฃ173 for lighting. The property produces 8.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2024 for ยฃ230,000.
