Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in CALLOW END, WR2 4TP. The property offers 120m² (1292 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (35/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (65/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £1500, comprising £1209 for heating, £154 for hot water, and £137 for lighting. The property produces 9.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2021 for £300,000.
