Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in SUTTON COLDFIELD, B75 7TJ. The property offers 37.13m² (400 sq ft) of compact living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (52/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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 £1236, comprising £899 for heating, £300 for hot water, and £37 for lighting. The property produces 6.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
