About This Property

This terraced flat is located in PLYMOUTH, PL4 8HT. The property offers 52.92mยฒ (570 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). 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 flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing ยฃ1,000-ยฃ3,000 depending on access and method. 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 ยฃ655, comprising ยฃ502 for heating, ยฃ103 for hot water, and ยฃ50 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 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.
