About This E-Rated Property

This semi-detached house is located in STOKE-ON-TRENT, ST3 6BD. 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 B rating (84/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £951, comprising £666 for heating, £216 for hot water, and £69 for lighting. The property produces 4.7 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.
