Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in BEXLEY, DA5 3QE. The property offers 148m² (1593 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £2246, comprising £1853 for heating, £268 for hot water, and £125 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2023 for £770,000.
