Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached flat is located in BLACKPOOL, FY3 7RU. The property offers 71m² (764 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (26/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (64/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1657, comprising £1267 for heating, £319 for hot water, and £71 for lighting. The property produces 7.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2018 for £59,000.
