Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in LONDON, N14 6DN. The property offers 128m² (1378 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £1922, comprising £1619 for heating, £181 for hot water, and £122 for lighting. The property produces 8.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2015 for £780,000.
