About This E-Rated Property

This detached bungalow is located in LLANDYSUL, SA44 4LE. The property offers 77.23m² (831 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property has an EPC rating of E (54/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (57/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £646, comprising £474 for heating, £124 for hot water, and £48 for lighting. The property produces 5.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
