About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in SOLIHULL, CV7 7FD. The property offers 46m² (495 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 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. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation.

The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £532, comprising £418 for heating, £72 for hot water, and £42 for lighting. The property produces 2.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
