About This Property

This semi-detached flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B5 7UU. The property offers 74m² (797 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £846, comprising £685 for heating, £106 for hot water, and £55 for lighting. The property produces 4.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
