Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced maisonette is located in CROYDON, CR0 6DN. The property offers 61m² (657 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £1333, comprising £1148 for heating, £83 for hot water, and £102 for lighting. The property produces 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2021 for £285,000.
