About This Property
This terraced house is located in MANCHESTER, M18 7EZ. The property offers 74.14m² (798 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £823, comprising £590 for heating, £191 for hot water, and £42 for lighting. The property produces 4.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
