Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in SOUTHPORT, PR9 0SG. The property offers 177.3m² (1908 sq ft) of spacious living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (24/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (55/100). 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 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 £3029, comprising £2707 for heating, £195 for hot water, and £127 for lighting. The property produces 17.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
