Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in OSSETT, WF5 8LZ. The property offers 82m² (883 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1652, comprising £1339 for heating, £215 for hot water, and £98 for lighting. The property produces 8.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2018 for £160,000.
