Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced house is located in SWANLEY, BR8 7NL. The property offers 113m² (1216 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (66/100). 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £2432, comprising £1999 for heating, £262 for hot water, and £171 for lighting. The property produces 8.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2019 for £440,000.
