Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B20 2NU. The property offers 48m² (517 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated G (15/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (54/100). 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 £1821, comprising £1286 for heating, £499 for hot water, and £36 for lighting. The property produces 5.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2018 for £52,000.
