Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced flat is located in KENDAL, LA9 5AA. The property offers 103m² (1109 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (2/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £3691, comprising £3105 for heating, £512 for hot water, and £74 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
