Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached flat is located in EASTLEIGH, SO50 5PV. The property offers 51.24m² (552 sq ft) of modest-sized living space. It is a recently constructed modern home. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps.
