The government has proposed raising the minimum EPC standard to C by 2028 for new rental tenancies and 2030 for all tenancies. This E-rated property would need to improve by two bands to comply. Acting now costs less and avoids deadline pressure.

This semi-detached flat is located in LONDON, E17 4AN. The property offers 23.29m² (251 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (45/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (58/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £607, comprising £323 for heating, £268 for hot water, and £16 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low 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.
