Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B8 2SY. The property offers 88.04m² (948 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (16/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1822, comprising £1260 for heating, £492 for hot water, and £70 for lighting. The property produces 6.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
