About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in BRIGG, DN20 9HU. The property offers 324m² (3488 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 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 £3070, comprising £2601 for heating, £252 for hot water, and £217 for lighting. The property produces 17.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
