About This Property

This detached bungalow is located in SPALDING, PE12 6JF. The property offers 126m² (1356 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. 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 A rating (98/100). 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 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 £1619, comprising £1262 for heating, £280 for hot water, and £77 for lighting. The property produces 6.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
