About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in SHEFFIELD, S17 3DU. The property offers 76.8m² (827 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 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 C rating (73/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £845, comprising £545 for heating, £235 for hot water, and £65 for lighting. The property produces 4.9 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.
