About This Property

This terraced flat is located in WATFORD, WD25 8DF. The property offers 193m² (2077 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (65/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2396, comprising £1737 for heating, £504 for hot water, and £155 for lighting. The property produces 5.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate 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.
