Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B32 2QD. The property offers 68m² (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated G (8/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (86/100). 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 £2830, comprising £2400 for heating, £354 for hot water, and £76 for lighting. The property produces 8.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2024 for £250,000, with 3 recorded sales in our database.
