About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in NEWMARKET, CB8 8SG. The property offers 232mยฒ (2497 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (44/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). 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 ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 ยฃ3785, comprising ยฃ3383 for heating, ยฃ242 for hot water, and ยฃ160 for lighting. The property produces 19.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2022 for ยฃ800,000.
