Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached flat is located in WOLVERHAMPTON, WV3 9QT. The property offers 62.24m² (670 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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. 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 £1262, comprising £765 for heating, £433 for hot water, and £64 for lighting. The property produces 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
