Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This terraced house is located in BISHOP'S STORTFORD, CM22 7EH. The property offers 90.1m² (970 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (20/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (48/100). 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 £2015, comprising £1635 for heating, £300 for hot water, and £80 for lighting. The property produces 8.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
