About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in GRAYS, RM16 3LX. The property offers 373.23mยฒ (4017 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property has an EPC rating of E (48/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (66/100). 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 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 ยฃ400-ยฃ600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ3575, comprising ยฃ3200 for heating, ยฃ174 for hot water, and ยฃ201 for lighting. The property produces 20.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
