Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced maisonette is located in WALTHAM ABBEY, EN9 1BJ. The property offers 73m² (786 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. 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 (77/100). 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 £1526, comprising £1092 for heating, £339 for hot water, and £95 for lighting. The property produces 4.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2020 for £250,000.
