Recommended improvements for this property

Measures from this home’s official Energy Performance Certificate assessment that could raise its rating and cut running costs, specific to APARTMENT 1, THE OLD SORTING OFFICE, 1A MARKET STREET, ALTRINCHAM, WA14 1QE.

  1. 1
    Replace single glazed windows with low-E double glazed windowsIndicative cost: £3,300 - £6,500

    Double glazing is the term given to a system where two panes of glass are made up into a sealed unit. Replacing existing single-glazed windows with double-glazed windows will improve comfort in the home by reducing draughts and cold spots near windows. Double-glazed windows may also reduce noise, improve security and combat problems with condensation.
