Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This terraced house is located in NELSON, BB9 0RT. The property offers 63m² (678 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (8/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £1718, comprising £1233 for heating, £422 for hot water, and £63 for lighting. The property produces 6.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2017 for £52,500, with 2 recorded sales in our database. IMPORTANT FOR LANDLORDS: With an EPC rating of G, 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.
