Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in LONDON, N2 0LB. The property offers 155m² (1668 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 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 £2377, comprising £2159 for heating, £94 for hot water, and £124 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
