About This Property

This terraced flat is located in the UB10 9NH postcode area. The property offers 29m² (312 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (80/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100).

Estimated annual energy costs are £415, comprising £159 for heating, £219 for hot water, and £37 for lighting. The property produces 1.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
