Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in COVENTRY, CV3 4GE. The property offers 91m² (980 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (68/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £1798, comprising £1571 for heating, £127 for hot water, and £100 for lighting. The property produces 7.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2017 for £230,000.
