Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN6 9BS. The property offers 84.90218m² (914 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (10/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Estimated annual energy costs are £2519, comprising £2219 for heating, £194 for hot water, and £106 for lighting. The property produces 22.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2016 for £229,000.
