Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in PRINCES RISBOROUGH, HP27 0AE. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (35/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). 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 £1197, comprising £885 for heating, £275 for hot water, and £37 for lighting. The property produces 4.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2019 for £192,500, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
