Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B18 6JQ. The property offers 91m² (980 sq ft) of good-sized living space.

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 £1848, comprising £1553 for heating, £228 for hot water, and £67 for lighting. The property produces 5.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
