Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached flat is located in BARKING, IG11 9EN. The property offers 47.8m² (515 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (60/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £901, comprising £733 for heating, £118 for hot water, and £50 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
