Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in BURNLEY, BB10 1HS. The property offers 72.38m² (779 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (24/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1634, comprising £1469 for heating, £77 for hot water, and £88 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2021 for £85,500.
