Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B14 7HX. The property offers 80m² (861 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £3527, comprising £2831 for heating, £579 for hot water, and £117 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in April 2024 for £365,000, with 4 recorded sales in our database.
