About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in DARLINGTON, DL1 3PY. The property offers 86m² (926 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property has an EPC rating of E (45/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. 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 £1910, comprising £1520 for heating, £237 for hot water, and £153 for lighting. The property produces 8.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high 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.
