Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in FILEY, YO14 9RD. The property offers 143m² (1539 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (47/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2944, comprising £2473 for heating, £282 for hot water, and £189 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2021 for £280,000.
