Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B30 1JH. The property offers 131m² (1410 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (67/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £2320, comprising £2101 for heating, £94 for hot water, and £125 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2017 for £405,000.
