Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in FARNBOROUGH, GU14 8PB. The property offers 90m² (969 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £1717, comprising £1289 for heating, £335 for hot water, and £93 for lighting. The property produces 8.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2022 for £350,000.
