This semi-detached bungalow is located in HUDDERSFIELD, HD4 6RD. The property offers 68mยฒ (732 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 (40/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 ยฃ3606, comprising ยฃ3030 for heating, ยฃ444 for hot water, and ยฃ132 for lighting. The property produces 6.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
