Flat 3, 9, St. Johns Square

About This E-Rated Property

This terraced flat is located in WAKEFIELD, WF1 2QX. The property offers 113m² (1216 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. 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 (71/100). 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1386, comprising £1223 for heating, £92 for hot water, and £71 for lighting. The property produces 7.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average 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.
