Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced house is located in STOKE-ON-TRENT, ST4 7HG. The property offers 37.6m² (405 sq ft) of compact living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (26/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (47/100). 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. 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 £1086, comprising £759 for heating, £293 for hot water, and £34 for lighting. The property produces 5.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2018 for £84,000. 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.
