Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B20 3BJ. The property offers 42m² (452 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). 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 pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £2156, comprising £1960 for heating, £144 for hot water, and £52 for lighting. The property produces 7.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
