About This Property

This terraced house is located in WATFORD, WD19 6NJ. The property offers 42.6m² (459 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average 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 modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £420, comprising £273 for heating, £100 for hot water, and £47 for lighting. The property produces 3.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
