About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in BODMIN, PL31 2NQ. The property offers 78m² (840 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (39/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1578, comprising £1304 for heating, £214 for hot water, and £60 for lighting. The property produces 5.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2024 for £157,000. For landlords: This property currently meets the minimum E rating requirement under MEES regulations. However, the government has proposed increasing the minimum to C by 2028 for new tenancies and 2030 for existing tenancies, so consider planning upgrades now.
