Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in TROWBRIDGE, BA14 6NA. The property offers 194m² (2088 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). 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 property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £2410, comprising £2086 for heating, £157 for hot water, and £167 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2022 for £525,000.
