About This Property

This terraced maisonette is located in BIRMINGHAM, B5 7DG. The property offers 86m² (926 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £1694, comprising £1395 for heating, £166 for hot water, and £133 for lighting. The property produces 4.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate 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.
