About This Property

This terraced house is located in YORK, YO61 4TB. The property offers 119m² (1281 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (66/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). 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 pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1250, comprising £997 for heating, £172 for hot water, and £81 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.
