About This E-Rated Property

This semi-detached flat is located in MANCHESTER, M16 7BR. The property offers 68m² (732 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (46/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (78/100). 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 £1141, comprising £813 for heating, £249 for hot water, and £79 for lighting. The property produces 6.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average 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.
