Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in SPALDING, PE12 7AX. The property offers 97.3m² (1047 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (42/100). The gas boiler has a poor efficiency rating, suggesting it may be over 15 years old. Older non-condensing boilers typically achieve only 60-70% efficiency compared to modern condensing boilers at 90%+. Replacing an old boiler could reduce gas bills by 20-30% and costs around £2,500-£4,500 installed. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1752, comprising £1320 for heating, £324 for hot water, and £108 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in November 2016 for £130,000. 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.
