Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in BARNOLDSWICK, BB18 5NT. The property offers 62.34m² (671 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (51/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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, 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 £1245, comprising £824 for heating, £362 for hot water, and £59 for lighting. The property produces 7.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2022 for £134,000.
