About This Property

This terraced flat is located in DURHAM, DH1 4SQ. The property offers 120m² (1292 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a recently constructed modern home. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency.

The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1339, comprising £1103 for heating, £167 for hot water, and £69 for lighting. The property produces 6.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average 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.
