Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in EXETER, EX4 8DN. The property offers 94.61m² (1018 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. Currently rated F (29/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (42/100). 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 flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £1590, comprising £1094 for heating, £409 for hot water, and £87 for lighting. The property produces 8.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2015 for £202,500.
