Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced maisonette is located in LONDON, E11 3BP. The property offers 78m² (840 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (65/100). 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. 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1333, comprising £1090 for heating, £170 for hot water, and £73 for lighting. The property produces 5.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2017 for £348,000.
