Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in CAMBRIDGE, CB22 7RF. The property offers 158m² (1701 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (35/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. 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 £2269, comprising £1873 for heating, £261 for hot water, and £135 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2023 for £1,150,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
