About This Property
This detached house is located in BUCKINGHAM, MK18 4LU. The property offers 321m² (3455 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (62/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £2286, comprising £1894 for heating, £172 for hot water, and £220 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
