Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached bungalow is located in ROCHDALE, OL11 5HS. The property offers 76.1m² (819 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (26/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (44/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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. 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 £2019, comprising £1711 for heating, £238 for hot water, and £70 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
