Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This flat is located in COVENTRY, CV3 2DF. The property offers 46m² (495 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. 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 (72/100). The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £2410, comprising £1903 for heating, £476 for hot water, and £31 for lighting. The property produces 1.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2021 for £98,000.
