About This Property

With an EPC rating of D (58/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows.

Estimated annual energy costs are £550, comprising £331 for heating, £202 for hot water, and £17 for lighting. The property produces 3.1 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.
