About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN6 9JN. The property offers 62mยฒ (667 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (93/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 ยฃ1070, comprising ยฃ810 for heating, ยฃ198 for hot water, and ยฃ62 for lighting. The property produces 6.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
