Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced flat is located in HOVE, BN3 1HR. The property offers 22.56m² (243 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £608, comprising £384 for heating, £202 for hot water, and £22 for lighting. The property produces 2.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
