About This Property
This terraced flat is located in HARROGATE, HG1 5EH. The property offers 48m² (517 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), 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 good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows.

Estimated annual energy costs are £718, comprising £585 for heating, £91 for hot water, and £42 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.
