Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in WETHERBY, LS22 5DJ. The property offers 163m² (1755 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (46/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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. 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 £2806, comprising £2435 for heating, £284 for hot water, and £87 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
