About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in SUNDERLAND, SR4 8DT. The property offers 126m² (1356 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (72/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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 £1418, comprising £1204 for heating, £106 for hot water, and £108 for lighting. The property produces 4.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
