What the agent tells us
The listing gives the essentials: a detached house from 1880 with an energy label G, which is the least efficient label, so expect high heating costs. The agent does not state the number of rooms, bedrooms or bathrooms, nor whether there is a garden, balcony or garage. There is no mention of insulation, heating systems or the ownership situation. What is clear is that this is a house with a long history, and the energy label suggests the running costs will be on the higher side.

The house was built in 1880 on peat soil, and 93% of properties in this postcode area were built before 1970. This is an indication at area level, not an inspection of this specific home, so it does not confirm the actual condition of the foundation.
