Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in ILFRACOMBE, EX34 8DZ. The property offers 209m² (2250 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £3173, comprising £2837 for heating, £211 for hot water, and £125 for lighting. The property produces 15.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2016 for £450,000.
