Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in MORPETH, NE65 9JG. The property offers 162m² (1744 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (29/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 £2403, comprising £2066 for heating, £192 for hot water, and £145 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2020 for £162,000.
