Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in SPALDING, PE12 9UL. The property offers 74m² (797 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 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 (74/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £3231, comprising £2261 for heating, £906 for hot water, and £64 for lighting. The property produces 1.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2024 for £104,000.
