About This Property

This terraced house is located in WALSALL, WS4 2BB. The property offers 55.72m² (600 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs.

The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £637, comprising £487 for heating, £118 for hot water, and £32 for lighting. The property produces 4.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
