About This Property

This terraced flat is located in PONTEFRACT, WF8 3NA. The property offers 45.63m² (491 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £657, comprising £556 for heating, £76 for hot water, and £25 for lighting. The property produces 3.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low 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.
