Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced maisonette is located in YORK, YO62 6DF. The property offers 55m² (592 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (46/100). 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. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Estimated annual energy costs are £1753, comprising £1401 for heating, £310 for hot water, and £42 for lighting. The property produces 5.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. IMPORTANT FOR LANDLORDS: With an EPC rating of F, 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.
