Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in ASHFORD, TN23 7SE. The property offers 44m² (474 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 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 D rating (63/100). 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. 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 £1086, comprising £892 for heating, £144 for hot water, and £50 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2021 for £112,000, with 4 recorded sales in our database.
