Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced house is located in IPSWICH, IP2 8EH. The property offers 79.71m² (858 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 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. 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. 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 £2429, comprising £2048 for heating, £334 for hot water, and £47 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2016 for £140,000.
