About This Property

This terraced house is located in THIRSK, YO7 1QR. The property offers 69m² (743 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (94/100). 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £1220, comprising £968 for heating, £190 for hot water, and £62 for lighting. The property produces 5.9 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.
