About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in SHREWSBURY, SY3 8PL. The property offers 274m² (2949 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (54/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2950, comprising £2606 for heating, £156 for hot water, and £188 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
