Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in LEEDS, LS12 5BB. The property offers 104.88m² (1129 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. 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 £1453, comprising £1180 for heating, £171 for hot water, and £102 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high 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.
