Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in YORK, YO61 4AB. The property offers 210m² (2260 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms.

With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (79/100). 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.
