Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached flat is located in Leyburn, DL8 4PB. The property offers 64m² (689 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (23/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (67/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £2430, comprising £2109 for heating, £266 for hot water, and £55 for lighting. The property produces 8.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
