About This Property

This maisonette is located in LUTON, LU1 5DR. The property offers 5m² (54 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of B (85/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (96/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £506, comprising £123 for heating, £366 for hot water, and £17 for lighting. The property produces 0.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
