Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This detached house is located in GRAYS, RM16 3DJ. The property offers 138.32mยฒ (1489 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs ยฃ8,000-ยฃ14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 ยฃ3919, comprising ยฃ3392 for heating, ยฃ449 for hot water, and ยฃ78 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
