Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in NOTTINGHAM, NG8 2NN. The property offers 183m² (1970 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (23/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (40/100). 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 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 £3834, comprising £3649 for heating, £83 for hot water, and £102 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
