About This Property
This detached house is located in LEEDS, LS17 9JH. The property offers 130m² (1399 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (58/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (89/100). 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 roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £2799, comprising £2112 for heating, £562 for hot water, and £125 for lighting. The property produces 1.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
