About This Property

This detached house is located in WORCESTER, WR2 6LW. The property offers 107.17m² (1154 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (59/100), 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1702, comprising £1186 for heating, £260 for hot water, and £256 for lighting. The property produces 8.9 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.
