Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in NUNEATON, CV11 5BX. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (30/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). 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. 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 £1321, comprising £1180 for heating, £103 for hot water, and £38 for lighting. The property produces 4.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
