About This E-Rated Property

This terraced maisonette is located in CHORLEY, PR7 2LE. The property offers 71m² (764 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (53/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (57/100). 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 for improved thermal efficiency. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1341, comprising £1013 for heating, £259 for hot water, and £69 for lighting. The property produces 5.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate 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.
