Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in DONCASTER, DN3 1NJ. The property offers 100m² (1076 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). 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, 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 £2184, comprising £1561 for heating, £511 for hot water, and £112 for lighting. The property produces 9.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in March 2015 for £110,000.
