About This Property

This detached flat is located in SLOUGH, SL1 2LA. The property offers 68m² (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard 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 property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £658, comprising £370 for heating, £236 for hot water, and £52 for lighting. The property produces 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
