Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced house is located in LANCING, BN15 9DB. The property offers 82m² (883 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (12/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (87/100). The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £2302, comprising £1497 for heating, £753 for hot water, and £52 for lighting. The property produces 8.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2023 for £313,000.
