Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This terraced house is located in HOVE, BN3 5BB. The property offers 84m² (904 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (8/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). 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. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £2582, comprising £2149 for heating, £325 for hot water, and £108 for lighting. The property produces 8.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2015 for £375,000.
