About This Property
This terraced bungalow is located in the CV5 8AG postcode area. The property offers 71m² (764 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. 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 B rating (83/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1420, comprising £1202 for heating, £132 for hot water, and £86 for lighting. The property produces 4.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate 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.
