Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in SUTTON, SM2 7EZ. The property offers 254m² (2734 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (37/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £3112, comprising £2648 for heating, £284 for hot water, and £180 for lighting. The property produces 16.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2023 for £3,150,000.
