Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in SHEERNESS, ME12 4BN. The property offers 418.12m² (4501 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 12 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (2/100) 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. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £10515, comprising £9970 for heating, £318 for hot water, and £227 for lighting. The property produces 63.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
