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 detached maisonette is located in LONDON, SE2 9UG. The property offers 86m² (926 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. The property has an EPC rating of E (52/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (65/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £994, comprising £741 for heating, £188 for hot water, and £65 for lighting. The property produces 5.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. 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.
