Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This terraced flat is located in SITTINGBOURNE, ME10 1QA. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated G (16/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (53/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2066, comprising £1810 for heating, £204 for hot water, and £52 for lighting. The property produces 5.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
