About This Property

This semi-detached flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B14 4BL. The property offers 80m² (861 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. The property holds an EPC rating of C (75/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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 £590, comprising £324 for heating, £144 for hot water, and £122 for lighting. The property produces 3.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
