Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in BARKING, IG11 9YB. The property offers 153.367mยฒ (1651 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (56/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 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, 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 ยฃ2106, comprising ยฃ1724 for heating, ยฃ268 for hot water, and ยฃ114 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
