About This Property
This terraced flat is located in Hartlepool, TS24 8BJ. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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 property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £642, comprising £373 for heating, £222 for hot water, and £47 for lighting. The property produces 2.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
