Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in SLEAFORD, NG34 7NB. The property offers 176.07m² (1895 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 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. 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. 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2612, comprising £2102 for heating, £319 for hot water, and £191 for lighting. The property produces 15.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2019 for £212,500.
