West Wing White Notley Hall, White Notley

Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This semi-detached maisonette is located in WITHAM, CM8 1RX. The property offers 64.44m² (694 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a F rating (24/100). 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 roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £3175, comprising £2581 for heating, £505 for hot water, and £89 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. IMPORTANT FOR LANDLORDS: With an EPC rating of G, 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.
