Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in UXBRIDGE, UB8 1PU. The property offers 123m² (1324 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £2365, comprising £1480 for heating, £775 for hot water, and £110 for lighting. The property produces 9.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in June 2015 for £495,000.
