Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This terraced house is located in DERBY, DE65 5AU. The property offers 51.72m² (557 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2052, comprising £1795 for heating, £201 for hot water, and £56 for lighting. The property produces 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
