Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in DONCASTER, DN2 5BH. The property offers 111m² (1195 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated G (19/100) 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 average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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. 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 £2779, comprising £2188 for heating, £466 for hot water, and £125 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2022 for £340,000, with 3 recorded sales in our database.
