Awelfor Guest House, Pen y Cwm

Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in HAVERFORDWEST, SA62 6AY. The property offers 188m² (2024 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (10/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (88/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term 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 £3491, comprising £2676 for heating, £676 for hot water, and £139 for lighting. The property produces 24.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. 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.
