Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in SOUTH CROYDON, CR2 9NR. The property offers 89m² (958 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (66/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. 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. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1925, comprising £1567 for heating, £280 for hot water, and £78 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2017 for £412,000.
