About This E-Rated Property
This semi-detached flat is located in BRADFORD, BD5 7AB. The property offers 46m² (495 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 (51/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). 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. 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 £1894, comprising £1230 for heating, £534 for hot water, and £130 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.
