Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in NEWMARKET, CB8 9EE. The property offers 133m² (1432 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (30/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (64/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. 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. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1726, comprising £1407 for heating, £213 for hot water, and £106 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in August 2017 for £432,000.
