About This Property
This detached flat is located in NORTHAMPTON, NN1 3PZ. The property offers 76m² (818 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of D (61/100), 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. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1168, comprising £859 for heating, £238 for hot water, and £71 for lighting. The property produces 3.8 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.
