Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in WAKEFIELD, WF1 4TG. The property offers 56m² (603 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 (8/100) 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £3912, comprising £2889 for heating, £913 for hot water, and £110 for lighting. The property produces 7.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
