About This Property

This detached house is located in WOLVERHAMPTON, WV5 7EE. The property offers 168m² (1808 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1844, comprising £1470 for heating, £234 for hot water, and £140 for lighting. The property produces 5.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate 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.
