About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B32 3UB. The property offers 77m² (829 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (48/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £2198, comprising £1637 for heating, £405 for hot water, and £156 for lighting. The property produces 5.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2024 for £82,500.
