First Floor Flat, 72-74 High Street

Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This flat is located in LONDON, E17 7LD. The property offers 71.33m² (768 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (8/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a F rating (36/100). 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. 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 £1869, comprising £1602 for heating, £204 for hot water, and £63 for lighting. The property produces 6.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average 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.
