About This Property
This detached flat is located in HASTINGS, TN34 2DN. The property offers 92m² (990 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £875, comprising £678 for heating, £125 for hot water, and £72 for lighting. The property produces 3.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
