About This Property
This flat is located in Bedale, DL8 1JL. The property offers 70m² (753 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (74/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. 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. 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 £1065, comprising £644 for heating, £374 for hot water, and £47 for lighting. The property produces 0.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
