Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached flat is located in SHREWSBURY, SY1 2UH. The property offers 32m² (344 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (26/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1080, comprising £720 for heating, £316 for hot water, and £44 for lighting. The property produces 4.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2023 for £55,000.
