Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in BOLTON, BL1 7RA. The property offers 76m² (818 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated G (4/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £3146, comprising £2976 for heating, £90 for hot water, and £80 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2020 for £158,000.
