Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This flat is located in ORRELL, WN5 0AG. The property offers 43m² (463 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (36/100) 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. 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 £2090, comprising £1727 for heating, £325 for hot water, and £38 for lighting. The property produces 1.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
