Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced house is located in NEWCASTLE, ST5 7SP. The property offers 45.8m² (493 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £790, comprising £580 for heating, £178 for hot water, and £32 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
