About This Property

This terraced flat is located in BRISTOL, BS8 4DR. The property offers 69m² (743 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (71/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1244, comprising £845 for heating, £233 for hot water, and £166 for lighting. The property produces 2.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
