Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in YORK, YO61 1LR. The property offers 100m² (1076 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (18/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (49/100). 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. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £4801, comprising £4147 for heating, £537 for hot water, and £117 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
