About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in LEYBURN, DL8 5PG. The property offers 113m² (1216 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. 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 B rating (81/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1746, comprising £1405 for heating, £219 for hot water, and £122 for lighting. The property produces 9.7 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.
