About This Property

This detached house is located in Gillingham, ME7 3NH. The property offers 137m² (1475 sq ft) of spacious living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £1590, comprising £1209 for heating, £301 for hot water, and £80 for lighting. The property produces 3.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
