Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in MAIDENHEAD, SL6 4RR. The property offers 71mยฒ (764 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (24/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing ยฃ1,000-ยฃ3,000 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 ยฃ2138, comprising ยฃ1800 for heating, ยฃ278 for hot water, and ยฃ60 for lighting. The property produces 7.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. 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 ยฃ30,000. Immediate improvements are required to bring the property to at least an E rating.
