Rules on letting this property

Properties can be let if they have an energy rating from A to E.

You can read guidance for landlords on the regulations and exemptions.

Energy efficiency rating for this property

This property’s current energy rating is E. It has the potential to be C.

See how to improve this property’s energy performance.

The graph shows this property’s current and potential energy rating.

Properties get a rating from A (best) to G (worst) and a score. The better the rating and score, the lower your energy bills are likely to be.

For properties in England and Wales:

the average energy rating is D
the average energy score is 60

Breakdown of property’s energy performance

This section shows the energy performance for features of this property. The assessment does not consider the condition of a feature and how well it is working.

Each feature is assessed as one of the following:

very good (most efficient)
good
average
poor
very poor (least efficient)

When the description says “assumed”, it means that the feature could not be inspected and an assumption has been made based on the property’s age and type.

Feature	Description	Rating
Wall	Solid brick, as built, no insulation (assumed)	Very poor
Wall	Cavity wall, as built, insulated (assumed)	Good
Roof	Pitched, 200 mm loft insulation	Good
Roof	Flat, insulated (assumed)	Average
Window	Fully double glazed	Average
Main heating	Boiler and radiators, mains gas	Good
Main heating control	Programmer and room thermostat	Average
Hot water	From main system	Good
Lighting	Low energy lighting in 62% of fixed outlets	Good
Floor	Solid, no insulation (assumed)	N/A
Secondary heating	Room heaters, dual fuel (mineral and wood)	N/A

Primary energy use

The primary energy use for this property per year is 406 kilowatt hours per square metre (kWh/m2).

What is primary energy use?

Primary energy use is a measure of the energy required for lighting, heating and hot water in a property. The calculation includes:

the efficiency of the property’s heating system
power station efficiency for electricity
the energy used to produce the fuel and deliver it to the property

Environmental impact of this property

This property’s current environmental impact rating is F. It has the potential to be C.

Properties get a rating from A (best) to G (worst) on how much carbon dioxide (CO2) they produce each year. CO2 harms the environment.

An average household produces: 6 tonnes of CO2
This property produces: 6.3 tonnes of CO2
This property’s potential production: 2.1 tonnes of CO2

You could improve this property’s CO2 emissions by making the suggested changes. This will help to protect the environment.

Environmental impact ratings are based on assumptions about average occupancy and energy use. They may not reflect how energy is consumed by the people living at the property.

Improve this property’s energy rating

Do I need to follow these steps in order?

Yes. Each step builds on the one before it so you can save the most energy.

For example, it’s more energy efficient to insulate your home before you buy a new boiler. A well insulated home will lose less heat so you do not have to run your boiler as often.

Step 1: Internal or external wall insulation

Typical installation cost: £4,000 - £14,000
Typical yearly saving: £301
Potential rating after completing step 1

Step 2: Floor insulation (solid floor)

Typical installation cost: £4,000 - £6,000
Typical yearly saving: £83
Potential rating after completing steps 1 and 2

Step 3: Low energy lighting

Typical installation cost: £15
Typical yearly saving: £18
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 3

Step 4: Heating controls (thermostatic radiator valves)

Heating controls (TRVs)

Typical installation cost: £350 - £450
Typical yearly saving: £36
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 4

Step 5: Replace boiler with new condensing boiler

Typical installation cost: £2,200 - £3,000
Typical yearly saving: £123
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 5

Step 6: Solar water heating

Typical installation cost: £4,000 - £6,000
Typical yearly saving: £41
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 6

Step 7: Solar photovoltaic panels, 2.5 kWp

Typical installation cost: £5,000 - £8,000
Typical yearly saving: £302
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 7

Paying for energy improvements

You might be able to get a grant from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. This will help you buy a more efficient, low carbon heating system for this property.

Estimated energy use and potential savings

Based on average energy costs when this EPC was created:

Estimated yearly energy cost for this property: £1304
Potential saving if you complete every step in order: £603

The estimated cost shows how much the average household would spend in this property for heating, lighting and hot water. It is not based on how energy is used by the people living at the property.

Heating use in this property

Heating a property usually makes up the majority of energy costs.

Contacting the assessor and accreditation scheme

This EPC was created by a qualified energy assessor.

If you are unhappy about your property’s energy assessment or certificate, you can complain to the assessor directly.

If you are still unhappy after contacting the assessor, you should contact the assessor’s accreditation scheme.

Accreditation schemes are appointed by the government to ensure that assessors are qualified to carry out EPC assessments.

Assessment details

Assessor’s declaration: No related party
Date of assessment: 24 January 2018
Date of certificate: 24 January 2018
Type of assessment: Show information about the RdSAP

RdSAP (Reduced data Standard Assessment Procedure) is a method used to assess and compare the energy and environmental performance of properties in the UK. It uses a site visit and survey of the property to calculate energy performance.

This type of assessment can be carried out on properties built before 1 April 2008 in England and Wales, and 30 September 2008 in Northern Ireland. It can also be used for newer properties, as long as they have a previous SAP assessment, which uses detailed information about the property’s construction to calculate energy performance.
