Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in FARNBOROUGH, GU14 9AG. The property offers 112m² (1206 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (87/100). 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 £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £2073, comprising £1547 for heating, £453 for hot water, and £73 for lighting. The property produces 7.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2016 for £318,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
