Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in LUTON, LU2 9PJ. The property offers 98m² (1055 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (9/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £4912, comprising £4275 for heating, £539 for hot water, and £98 for lighting. The property produces 9.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
