Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached flat is located in LONDON, W5 2SW. The property offers 66m² (710 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1499, comprising £995 for heating, £411 for hot water, and £93 for lighting. The property produces 5.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2016 for £495,000.
