About This Property
This terraced flat is located in LEAMINGTON SPA, CV32 5HE. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £535, comprising £347 for heating, £138 for hot water, and £50 for lighting. The property produces 3.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
