About This Property

This detached house is located in BISHOP'S STORTFORD, CM22 7QS. The property offers 142mยฒ (1528 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (64/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency.

The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows.

Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ1250, comprising ยฃ933 for heating, ยฃ141 for hot water, and ยฃ176 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.
