Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in MILTON KEYNES, MK17 0LS. The property offers 77m² (829 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (99/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1577, comprising £1077 for heating, £423 for hot water, and £77 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2018 for £280,000.
