About This E-Rated Property
This semi-detached flat is located in HUDDERSFIELD, HD1 5QB. The property offers 150m² (1615 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (42/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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. 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 £2350, comprising £2067 for heating, £134 for hot water, and £149 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 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.
