The government has proposed raising the minimum EPC standard to C by 2028 for new rental tenancies and 2030 for all tenancies. This E-rated property would need to improve by two bands to comply. Acting now costs less and avoids deadline pressure.

This terraced house is located in TELFORD, TF1 5NF. The property offers 62.56m² (673 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property has an EPC rating of E (50/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (66/100). 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 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 £654, comprising £369 for heating, £233 for hot water, and £52 for lighting. The property produces 4.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
