Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This semi-detached flat is located in CARDIFF, CF24 1QF. The property offers 34m² (366 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (6/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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, 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 £1641, comprising £1138 for heating, £451 for hot water, and £52 for lighting. The property produces 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2024 for £57,000, with 2 recorded sales in our database.
