About This E-Rated Property
This detached bungalow is located in BRIGHOUSE, HD6 2HN. The property offers 124m² (1335 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), 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 good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Estimated annual energy costs are £1676, comprising £1424 for heating, £122 for hot water, and £130 for lighting. The property produces 7.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
