Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in CHIPPING NORTON, OX7 5HJ. The property offers 113m² (1216 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £2109, comprising £1707 for heating, £251 for hot water, and £151 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in January 2021 for £390,000.
