Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced house is located in TRURO, TR1 3ES. The property offers 119m² (1281 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (25/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2553, comprising £1984 for heating, £440 for hot water, and £129 for lighting. The property produces 16.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in January 2019 for £230,000.
