Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in MANCHESTER, M20 2ND. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (61/100). The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £1105, comprising £744 for heating, £323 for hot water, and £38 for lighting. The property produces 4.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
