About This Property

This terraced house is located in LEIGH, WN7 1RW. The property offers 74mยฒ (797 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (87/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation.

The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 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 ยฃ957, comprising ยฃ762 for heating, ยฃ97 for hot water, and ยฃ98 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2016 for ยฃ60,000, with 3 recorded sales in our database.
