Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced house is located in DRIFFIELD, YO25 6SY. The property offers 45.64m² (491 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (64/100). 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 £962, comprising £670 for heating, £247 for hot water, and £45 for lighting. The property produces 3.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2018 for £80,000.
