About This Property

This terraced flat is located in HASTINGS, TN34 1RE. The property offers 71mยฒ (764 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

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 ยฃ798, comprising ยฃ684 for heating, ยฃ57 for hot water, and ยฃ57 for lighting. The property produces 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
