About This Property
This flat is located in BURNLEY, BB11 5LA. The property offers 44mยฒ (474 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for ยฃ7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 ยฃ1042, comprising ยฃ595 for heating, ยฃ408 for hot water, and ยฃ39 for lighting. The property produces 0.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very 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.
