About This E-Rated Property
This terraced flat is located in CREWE, CW2 6EE. The property offers 49m² (527 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (44/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (67/100). 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 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. 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 £1322, comprising £1056 for heating, £218 for hot water, and £48 for lighting. The property produces 5.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
