Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced house is located in LEEDS, LS6 2RD. The property offers 91.16m² (981 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (49/100). The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1272, comprising £768 for heating, £448 for hot water, and £56 for lighting. The property produces 6.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in May 2022 for £170,000. 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 £30,000. Immediate improvements are required to bring the property to at least an E rating.
