About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in FOLKESTONE, CT20 2NT. The property offers 68m² (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £1706, comprising £1368 for heating, £222 for hot water, and £116 for lighting. The property produces 3.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
