About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in BRISTOL, BS13 7PR. The property offers 65m² (700 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs.

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 £1807, comprising £1383 for heating, £290 for hot water, and £134 for lighting. The property produces 5.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
