Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced house is located in PENZANCE, TR18 4BG. The property offers 136m² (1464 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2017, comprising £1594 for heating, £326 for hot water, and £97 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2021 for £555,000.
