Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN2 1QQ. The property offers 789m² (8493 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 16 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (64/100). 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 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £8811, comprising £8326 for heating, £175 for hot water, and £310 for lighting. The property produces 50.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
