About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in QUINTRELL DOWNS, TR8 4PA. The property offers 84m² (904 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 (64/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £912, comprising £602 for heating, £200 for hot water, and £110 for lighting. The property produces 2.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
