About This Property

This terraced house is located in STEVENAGE, SG2 9BD. The property offers 91mยฒ (980 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (86/100).

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 ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ2104, comprising ยฃ1548 for heating, ยฃ329 for hot water, and ยฃ227 for lighting. The property produces 4.2 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.
