About This Property

This flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B6 5DP. The property offers 62.21m² (670 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £607, comprising £325 for heating, £219 for hot water, and £63 for lighting. The property produces 3.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
