Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in TADWORTH, KT20 7QT. The property offers 336.52m² (3622 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 12 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (37/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (50/100). The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £4025, comprising £3383 for heating, £303 for hot water, and £339 for lighting. The property produces 22.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
