About This E-Rated Property
This detached flat is located in FOLKESTONE, CT19 4LH. The property offers 46.8m² (504 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. The property has an EPC rating of E (50/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. 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. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £639, comprising £462 for heating, £147 for hot water, and £30 for lighting. The property produces 2.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
