About This Property

This detached house is located in SKIPTON, BD23 3BD. The property offers 219m² (2357 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (58/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100). This property benefits from a ground source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. 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 £2318, comprising £1985 for heating, £196 for hot water, and £137 for lighting. The property produces 5.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate 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.
