Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced maisonette is located in STEVENAGE, SG2 9PH. The property offers 39m² (420 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (61/100). Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £988, comprising £255 for heating, £688 for hot water, and £45 for lighting. The property produces 3.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low 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.
