Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in STOW-ON-THE-WOLD, GL54 1DN. The property offers 107m² (1152 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (80/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £1738, comprising £1478 for heating, £141 for hot water, and £119 for lighting. The property produces 7.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
