Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced flat is located in CRAMLINGTON, NE23 6UN. The property offers 45m² (484 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (57/100). 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1388, comprising £1241 for heating, £109 for hot water, and £38 for lighting. The property produces 5.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate 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 £30,000. Immediate improvements are required to bring the property to at least an E rating.
