About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in YORK, YO62 7TE. The property offers 226m² (2433 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (51/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2543, comprising £2146 for heating, £206 for hot water, and £191 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high 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.
