Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in STOKE-ON-TRENT, ST4 2EB. The property offers 72m² (775 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (24/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (86/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2201, comprising £1746 for heating, £348 for hot water, and £107 for lighting. The property produces 6.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
