About This E-Rated Property
This detached bungalow is located in SEATON, EX12 2JN. The property offers 76m² (818 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (52/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). 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 £1158, comprising £693 for heating, £365 for hot water, and £100 for lighting. The property produces 4.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2021 for £275,000.
