About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in BEDALE, DL8 1NS. The property offers 75mยฒ (807 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (43/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (87/100). 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 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 ยฃ1578, comprising ยฃ1309 for heating, ยฃ168 for hot water, and ยฃ101 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2018 for ยฃ265,000.
