About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in SCARBOROUGH, YO11 2SY. The property offers 46m² (495 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (70/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £671, comprising £417 for heating, £209 for hot water, and £45 for lighting. The property produces 2.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
