About This E-Rated Property

This terraced maisonette is located in WALSALL, WS1 3QN. The property offers 51mยฒ (549 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. The property has an EPC rating of E (49/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ1079, comprising ยฃ783 for heating, ยฃ254 for hot water, and ยฃ42 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 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.
