About This E-Rated Property

This detached house is located in CARDIFF, CF14 0FL. The property offers 126.54mยฒ (1362 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. The property has an EPC rating of E (54/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 ยฃ1255, comprising ยฃ906 for heating, ยฃ218 for hot water, and ยฃ131 for lighting. The property produces 6.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
