About This Property
This terraced flat is located in WAKEFIELD, WF1 3AS. The property offers 142m² (1528 sq ft) of spacious living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1315, comprising £1029 for heating, £192 for hot water, and £94 for lighting. The property produces 9.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high 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.
