Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN2 2UJ. The property offers 229m² (2465 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). 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 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 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 £3827, comprising £3343 for heating, £310 for hot water, and £174 for lighting. The property produces 18.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2016 for £440,000.
