About This Property
This terraced flat is located in BRIGHTON, BN1 2PN. The property offers 25m² (269 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. With an EPC rating of B (81/100), this property is highly energy efficient, placing it in the top tier of UK homes. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £292, comprising £208 for heating, £72 for hot water, and £12 for lighting. The property produces 1.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
