Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in LINCOLN, LN4 3ST. The property offers 95m² (1023 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £2033, comprising £1731 for heating, £213 for hot water, and £89 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 November 2024 for £218,500.
