Tanglewood, Rock Hill

Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in ORPINGTON, BR6 7PP. The property offers 318m² (3423 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 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 D rating (61/100). 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. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £4218, comprising £3799 for heating, £223 for hot water, and £196 for lighting. The property produces 22.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
