Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in SHREWSBURY, SY3 8PL. The property offers 176.68m² (1902 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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. 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 £2532, comprising £2279 for heating, £166 for hot water, and £87 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
