About This E-Rated Property

This semi-detached house is located in MANCHESTER, M16 8HP. The property offers 203m² (2185 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £2082, comprising £1816 for heating, £106 for hot water, and £160 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
