About This Property
This terraced maisonette is located in SKIPTON, BD23 3AG. The property offers 97m² (1044 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). 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, 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 £1336, comprising £1022 for heating, £227 for hot water, and £87 for lighting. The property produces 8.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high 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.
