About This Property
This terraced house is located in CASTLEFORD, WF10 5BB. The property offers 67m² (721 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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. 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 £821, comprising £673 for heating, £96 for hot water, and £52 for lighting. The property produces 3.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2019 for £65,000. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard.
