Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in LEICESTER, LE4 7HG. The property offers 100m² (1076 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (35/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1578, comprising £1247 for heating, £251 for hot water, and £80 for lighting. The property produces 8.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2024 for £267,500.
