About This Property

This terraced house is located in SHREWSBURY, SY1 1TJ. The property offers 616m² (6631 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 15 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. 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 (76/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £4859, comprising £4558 for heating, £113 for hot water, and £188 for lighting. The property produces 24.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
