Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in GRAVESEND, DA11 7PN. The property offers 138m² (1485 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (35/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). 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 £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 £1915, comprising £1643 for heating, £173 for hot water, and £99 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2019 for £430,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
