Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached flat is located in COVENTRY, CV3 5PU. The property offers 33.27m² (358 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. 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. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (63/100). The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £858, comprising £447 for heating, £377 for hot water, and £34 for lighting. The property produces 3.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low 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.
