Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in STOKE-ON-TRENT, ST9 9QD. The property offers 201m² (2164 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (67/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units.

Estimated annual energy costs are £9245, comprising £8519 for heating, £488 for hot water, and £238 for lighting. The property produces 24.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
