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 bungalow is located in NORWICH, NR13 4AU. The property offers 115.96m² (1248 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property has an EPC rating of E (53/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (68/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 £1136, comprising £778 for heating, £235 for hot water, and £123 for lighting. The property produces 7.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in April 2019 for £318,000.
