Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in CLACTON-ON-SEA, CO15 4LF. The property offers 119m² (1281 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (13/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). 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. 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 £6416, comprising £5817 for heating, £445 for hot water, and £154 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2025 for £450,000.
