About This Property

This semi-detached flat is located in PRESTWICH, M25 3JH. The property offers 53m² (570 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £563, comprising £446 for heating, £70 for hot water, and £47 for lighting. The property produces 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2021 for £100,000.
