About This Property
This terraced house is located in BALDOCK, SG7 5DF. The property offers 51m² (549 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (90/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows.

Estimated annual energy costs are £754, comprising £530 for heating, £182 for hot water, and £42 for lighting. The property produces 3.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard.
