About This Property

This terraced flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B14 6DT. The property offers 40m² (431 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (80/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £385, comprising £183 for heating, £144 for hot water, and £58 for lighting. The property produces 1.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
