About This Property

This semi-detached house is located in SHREWSBURY, SY5 6QS. The property offers 72m² (775 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (114/100). This property benefits from a air 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 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 £775, comprising £528 for heating, £173 for hot water, and £74 for lighting. The property produces 2.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
