About This Property
This semi-detached house is located in PRESTON, PR3 2JL. The property offers 191.9m² (2066 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal 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 £1750, comprising £1419 for heating, £190 for hot water, and £141 for lighting. The property produces 6.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
