Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in SPALDING, PE11 1AE. The property offers 48.83m² (526 sq ft) of compact living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. 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 (56/100). 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 £840, comprising £647 for heating, £167 for hot water, and £26 for lighting. The property produces 3.0 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.
