About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in REDDITCH, B97 4JL. The property offers 77m² (829 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), 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 £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £622, comprising £220 for heating, £332 for hot water, and £70 for lighting. The property produces 2.2 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.
