About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in LEEDS, LS9 9BR. The property offers 81m² (872 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (48/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1296, comprising £1098 for heating, £123 for hot water, and £75 for lighting. The property produces 5.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in April 2015 for £70,000. 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.
