About This Property
This semi-detached maisonette is located in GUILDFORD, GU1 2TY. The property offers 44m² (474 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. 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 £736, comprising £504 for heating, £197 for hot water, and £35 for lighting. The property produces 2.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2016 for £240,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
