About This Property
This detached house is located in SWINDON, SN5 4JP. The property offers 222.8mยฒ (2398 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (55/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 ยฃ1972, comprising ยฃ1437 for heating, ยฃ376 for hot water, and ยฃ159 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. For landlords: This rental property with a D rating is positioned above the current minimum standard. With proposed changes to require a C rating by 2028, modest improvements now could future-proof your compliance.
