About This E-Rated Property

This detached house is located in MAIDSTONE, ME17 3RF. The property offers 357m² (3843 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (39/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (65/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £11259, comprising £10577 for heating, £365 for hot water, and £317 for lighting. The property produces 24.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
