About This Property

This detached house is located in ROCHDALE, OL11 5UL. The property offers 315.03m² (3391 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 13 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2483, comprising £2071 for heating, £215 for hot water, and £197 for lighting. The property produces 9.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
