Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced house is located in BLACKBURN, BB2 1UN. The property offers 100m² (1076 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (14/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (87/100). 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. 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 £3518, comprising £2687 for heating, £675 for hot water, and £156 for lighting. The property produces 9.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
