About This E-Rated Property

This detached house is located in YORK, YO61 1LT. The property offers 179m² (1927 sq ft) of spacious living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (52/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (101/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Estimated annual energy costs are £2408, comprising £2053 for heating, £246 for hot water, and £109 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
