Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This terraced house is located in ROCHDALE, OL11 5UT. The property offers 147m² (1582 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (3/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £4696, comprising £4281 for heating, £261 for hot water, and £154 for lighting. The property produces 15.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
