Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in NOTTINGHAM, NG8 5DU. The property offers 60.8m² (654 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (19/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £1590, comprising £1275 for heating, £249 for hot water, and £66 for lighting. The property produces 7.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
