Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in MONMOUTH, NP25 3PH. The property offers 78m² (840 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated G (14/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (86/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £2534, comprising £1896 for heating, £563 for hot water, and £75 for lighting. The property produces 7.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2019 for £240,000.
