About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B1 2PY. The property offers 88.02m² (947 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (57/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £1067, comprising £660 for heating, £323 for hot water, and £84 for lighting. The property produces 4.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
