Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced house is located in WALSALL, WS1 3EF. The property offers 178.76m² (1924 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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. 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 £4965, comprising £4621 for heating, £162 for hot water, and £182 for lighting. The property produces 45.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
