Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in BEDFORD, MK45 5EJ. The property offers 110m² (1184 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (37/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). 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. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal 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 £1836, comprising £1486 for heating, £249 for hot water, and £101 for lighting. The property produces 8.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
