About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in BURNLEY, BB10 1XH. The property offers 142m² (1528 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (48/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £2123, comprising £1844 for heating, £124 for hot water, and £155 for lighting. The property produces 9.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2015 for £62,000.
