About This Property
This terraced house is located in LANCASTER, LA2 0EL. The property offers 227m² (2443 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (60/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1770, comprising £1396 for heating, £217 for hot water, and £157 for lighting. The property produces 5.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
