Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached bungalow is located in BEXLEY, DA5 2EQ. The property offers 65m² (700 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1386, comprising £876 for heating, £433 for hot water, and £77 for lighting. The property produces 4.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2021 for £430,000.
