About This Property

This detached house is located in WOLVERHAMPTON, WV4 5JS. The property offers 106m² (1141 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1304, comprising £1011 for heating, £170 for hot water, and £123 for lighting. The property produces 9.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
