Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced house is located in BIRMINGHAM, B36 9ND. The property offers 101m² (1087 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £2307, comprising £1737 for heating, £493 for hot water, and £77 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2018 for £115,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
