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 terraced flat is located in LONDON, E16 1JU. The property offers 68.85m² (741 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 (46/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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 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 £958, comprising £580 for heating, £342 for hot water, and £36 for lighting. The property produces 4.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.

LONDON has a mix of older and newer housing stock. E-rated properties in this area typically pre-date modern insulation standards but are strong candidates for improvement — particularly insulation and heating system upgrades, which can lift ratings by two or more bands.
