Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in CHIPPING NORTON, OX7 6TT. The property offers 143m² (1539 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (20/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). 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%. 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 £3587, comprising £3271 for heating, £211 for hot water, and £105 for lighting. The property produces 21.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. IMPORTANT FOR LANDLORDS: With an EPC rating of G, 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.
