About This Property

This terraced flat is located in the B1 1UG postcode area. The property offers 56m² (603 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (63/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The gas boiler has a poor efficiency rating, suggesting it may be over 15 years old. Older non-condensing boilers typically achieve only 60-70% efficiency compared to modern condensing boilers at 90%+. Replacing an old boiler could reduce gas bills by 20-30% and costs around £2,500-£4,500 installed. 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 £1042, comprising £574 for heating, £405 for hot water, and £63 for lighting. The property produces 2.1 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.
