Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This terraced house is located in BRISTOL, BS8 4LR. The property offers 113mยฒ (1216 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (16/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs ยฃ400-ยฃ600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ6226, comprising ยฃ5695 for heating, ยฃ264 for hot water, and ยฃ267 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in September 2024 for ยฃ556,000.
