Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in BROMLEY, BR2 0AY. The property offers 97m² (1044 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (37/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100). 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. 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 £1614, comprising £1069 for heating, £432 for hot water, and £113 for lighting. The property produces 6.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2019 for £572,975.
