Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached maisonette is located in BRISTOL, BS8 4DH. The property offers 32m² (344 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (30/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (66/100). Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. 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 £953, comprising £743 for heating, £162 for hot water, and £48 for lighting. The property produces 6.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2022 for £450,000, with 5 recorded sales in our database.
