About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in BOURNEMOUTH, BH3 7HT. The property offers 23m² (248 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is built during the 1980s construction period. With an EPC rating of D (68/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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.
