About This E-Rated Property
This detached flat is located in Chipping Norton, OX7 3HY. The property offers 92mยฒ (990 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 (47/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (73/100). The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 ยฃ400-ยฃ600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ3345, comprising ยฃ2844 for heating, ยฃ355 for hot water, and ยฃ146 for lighting. The property produces 1.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very 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.
