Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in POOLE, BH13 7PB. The property offers 424.31m² (4567 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 14 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (23/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (42/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £5392, comprising £4668 for heating, £315 for hot water, and £409 for lighting. The property produces 29.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
