Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in HUDDERSFIELD, HD2 2SG. The property offers 172m² (1851 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (30/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £3227, comprising £2957 for heating, £147 for hot water, and £123 for lighting. The property produces 15.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2017 for £167,000.
