About This Property
This terraced flat is located in BOLTON, BL1 3QB. The property offers 66m² (710 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs.

The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance.

Estimated annual energy costs are £1566, comprising £1070 for heating, £395 for hot water, and £101 for lighting. The property produces 4.1 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.
