Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in MORPETH, NE65 8JG. The property offers 260.8m² (2807 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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. 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 £6260, comprising £5488 for heating, £576 for hot water, and £196 for lighting. The property produces 26.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
