Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in BRISTOL, BS8 4NP. The property offers 229m² (2465 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £6483, comprising £5221 for heating, £826 for hot water, and £436 for lighting. The property produces 21.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2024 for £720,000.
