Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached bungalow is located in ATTLEBOROUGH, NR17 2EW. The property offers 58m² (624 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 (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 £3441, comprising £850 for heating, £2490 for hot water, and £101 for lighting. The property produces 5.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
