Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This detached house is located in EXETER, EX2 4RQ. The property offers 178m² (1916 sq ft) of spacious living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). 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 £10487, comprising £9804 for heating, £412 for hot water, and £271 for lighting. The property produces 15.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2024 for £805,000.
