About This Property
This terraced flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B18 6FR. The property offers 44m² (474 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £879, comprising £549 for heating, £272 for hot water, and £58 for lighting. The property produces 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
