Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in WAKEFIELD, WF2 0SP. The property offers 73m² (786 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £3337, comprising £2562 for heating, £588 for hot water, and £187 for lighting. The property produces 7.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2023 for £290,000.
