Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in LONDON, SE10 8HP. The property offers 108m² (1163 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (70/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. 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. 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 £1559, comprising £1306 for heating, £175 for hot water, and £78 for lighting. The property produces 5.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2023 for £1,500,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
