About This Property
This terraced flat is located in ASHBOURNE, DE6 1DA. The property offers 32m² (344 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), 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 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 £1116, comprising £899 for heating, £158 for hot water, and £59 for lighting. The property produces 2.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low 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.
