Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in YORK, YO30 6SA. The property offers 76m² (818 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. 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 (53/100). Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1763, comprising £1328 for heating, £317 for hot water, and £118 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2019 for £230,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
