Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in LEAMINGTON SPA, CV32 7PD. The property offers 39m² (420 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (51/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £958, comprising £622 for heating, £292 for hot water, and £44 for lighting. The property produces 4.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
