About This Property
This detached house is located in BUCKINGHAM, MK18 3LB. The property offers 277m² (2982 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (69/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (94/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £3242, comprising £2793 for heating, £211 for hot water, and £238 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
