Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached flat is located in LUTON, LU2 7YD. The property offers 39.178m² (422 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (24/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1138, comprising £886 for heating, £213 for hot water, and £39 for lighting. The property produces 4.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. IMPORTANT FOR LANDLORDS: With an EPC rating of F, this property does not meet the Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES). Since April 2020, landlords cannot legally let properties rated F or G without registering a valid exemption. Penalties for non-compliance can reach up to £30,000. Immediate improvements are required to bring the property to at least an E rating.
