Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in STOKE-ON-TRENT, ST3 7NS. The property offers 141m² (1518 sq ft) of spacious 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 (93/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term 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 £2160, comprising £1678 for heating, £353 for hot water, and £129 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2015 for £300,000.
