Ground Floor Flat, 11 Risborough Road

About This E-Rated Property

This terraced flat is located in FOLKESTONE, CT19 4JH. The property offers 59m² (635 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 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 C rating (72/100). 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. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £1081, comprising £861 for heating, £155 for hot water, and £65 for lighting. The property produces 4.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate 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.
