Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in NEWCASTLE UPON TYNE, NE4 9DA. The property offers 166m² (1787 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (31/100) 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £2978, comprising £2541 for heating, £269 for hot water, and £168 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2017 for £224,000.
