Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, W9 2AB. The property offers 21.04m² (226 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (23/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (45/100). 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 £770, comprising £222 for heating, £527 for hot water, and £21 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
