54 GUILD CLOSE, BIRMINGHAM

About This E-Rated Property

This terraced flat is located in BIRMINGHAM, B16 8DX. The property offers 80m² (861 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. 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 C rating (77/100). 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%. 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 £1404, comprising £474 for heating, £845 for hot water, and £85 for lighting. The property produces 5.1 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.
