Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in PONTEFRACT, WF8 3NP. The property offers 86m² (926 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (68/100). 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. 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 £6930, comprising £5643 for heating, £1079 for hot water, and £208 for lighting. The property produces 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
