About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in WITHAM, CM8 1GJ. The property offers 52m² (560 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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 £713, comprising £455 for heating, £217 for hot water, and £41 for lighting. The property produces 3.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
