About This E-Rated Property

This terraced maisonette is located in LONDON, W2 1ED. The property offers 105m² (1130 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (43/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £1765, comprising £1403 for heating, £275 for hot water, and £87 for lighting. The property produces 8.2 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.
