About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in MIDDLESBROUGH, TS9 7BW. The property offers 275m² (2960 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (50/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £3613, comprising £3166 for heating, £297 for hot water, and £150 for lighting. The property produces 16.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
