Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in DERBY, DE73 8DL. The property offers 86.32m² (929 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (37/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (58/100). 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 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £922, comprising £658 for heating, £199 for hot water, and £65 for lighting. The property produces 9.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
