Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in MONMOUTH, NP25 4DT. The property offers 258m² (2777 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2785, comprising £2431 for heating, £143 for hot water, and £211 for lighting. The property produces 17.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
