About This Property
This terraced flat is located in CHORLEY, PR7 1TJ. The property offers 59m² (635 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (70/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £779, comprising £539 for heating, £182 for hot water, and £58 for lighting. The property produces 3.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
