Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached flat is located in EDLESBOROUGH, LU6 2HT. The property offers 60m² (646 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (26/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (65/100). The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £3393, comprising £2871 for heating, £387 for hot water, and £135 for lighting. The property produces 6.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
