Hello experts.
A house that was built solidly three years ago (without insulation) is up for sale.
The house is equipped with an air-to-water heat pump as well as a fireplace. There are no solar thermal or photovoltaic systems.
Heating is provided by the air heat pump and the fireplace, and an energy performance certificate is available. The values have varied somewhat over the three years, but well.
The seller gave me the invoice for the heat pump and the underfloor heating yesterday.
How can I tell if this is a "good" energy concept?
Before I buy, I want to make sure I’m not getting into a money pit.
Do I possibly need the exact external wall thickness (which type of masonry), roof insulation, window specifications, etc. for that?
I would appreciate any information. Have a nice evening and best regards, Chris

The house was built at the end of 2013, so about 3.5 years ago.
