About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in PLYMOUTH, PL4 0PF. The property offers 47m² (506 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £806, comprising £593 for heating, £155 for hot water, and £58 for lighting. The property produces 1.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very 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.
