Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B13 8JX. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (61/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £1165, comprising £846 for heating, £265 for hot water, and £54 for lighting. The property produces 5.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
