Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in SUNDERLAND, SR2 9DQ. The property offers 79m² (850 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1694, comprising £1333 for heating, £251 for hot water, and £110 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2015 for £127,000.
