Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in TUNBRIDGE WELLS, TN2 4RQ. The property offers 162.67m² (1751 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (62/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1687, comprising £1351 for heating, £195 for hot water, and £141 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
