Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in SEATON, EX12 2HB. The property offers 70m² (753 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated G (11/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100). 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. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £5259, comprising £4357 for heating, £750 for hot water, and £152 for lighting. The property produces 7.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2024 for £245,000.
