Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in ASHBOURNE, DE6 3EL. The property offers 99m² (1066 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (35/100) 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 £1870, comprising £1439 for heating, £336 for hot water, and £95 for lighting. The property produces 8.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
