About This Property

This terraced flat is located in NORTHWICH, CW8 4AY. The property offers 30m² (323 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £516, comprising £312 for heating, £170 for hot water, and £34 for lighting. The property produces 2.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
