About This E-Rated Property

This terraced flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B20 2NX. The property offers 59mยฒ (635 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (43/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The flat roof has poor insulation.

Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ1233, comprising ยฃ655 for heating, ยฃ533 for hot water, and ยฃ45 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
