About This Property

This terraced flat is located in SOUTHAMPTON, SO14 2BZ. The property offers 40mยฒ (431 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 ยฃ815, comprising ยฃ635 for heating, ยฃ96 for hot water, and ยฃ84 for lighting. The property produces 2.4 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.
