About This E-Rated Property

This detached house is located in ROWLAND'S CASTLE, PO9 6EE. The property offers 238m² (2562 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (41/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). 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. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2374, comprising £1976 for heating, £152 for hot water, and £246 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
