Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in LONDON, SE6 1LE. The property offers 70m² (753 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £1640, comprising £1084 for heating, £430 for hot water, and £126 for lighting. The property produces 4.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
