Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in RIPLEY, DE5 3LY. The property offers 84.1m² (905 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (30/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. 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. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1131, comprising £734 for heating, £346 for hot water, and £51 for lighting. The property produces 7.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2015 for £100,000.
