About This E-Rated Property

This terraced flat is located in LOUGHTON, IG10 2HE. The property offers 34.95m² (376 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property has an EPC rating of E (54/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (64/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £491, comprising £265 for heating, £190 for hot water, and £36 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low 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.
