Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in CASTLEFORD, WF10 5PG. The property offers 55m² (592 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (23/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). 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 £2922, comprising £2544 for heating, £266 for hot water, and £112 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
