Rules on letting this property
Properties can be let if they have an energy rating from A to E.
You can read guidance for landlords on the regulations and exemptions.
Breakdown of property’s energy performance
This section shows the energy performance for features of this property. The assessment does not consider the condition of a feature and how well it is working.
Each feature is assessed as one of the following:
- very good (most efficient)
- good
- average
- poor
- very poor (least efficient)
When the description says “assumed”, it means that the feature could not be inspected and an assumption has been made based on the property’s age and type.
| Feature | Description | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Wall | Cavity wall, filled cavity | Average |
| Window | Fully double glazed | Average |
| Main heating | Boiler and radiators, mains gas | Good |
| Main heating control | Programmer, room thermostat and TRVs | Good |
| Hot water | From main system | Good |
| Lighting | Low energy lighting in 75% of fixed outlets | Very good |
| Roof | (another dwelling above) | N/A |
| Floor | Solid, no insulation (assumed) | N/A |
| Secondary heating | Room heaters, electric | N/A |
Primary energy use
The primary energy use for this property per year is 213 kilowatt hours per square metre (kWh/m2).
What is primary energy use?
Primary energy use is a measure of the energy required for lighting, heating and hot water in a property. The calculation includes:
- the efficiency of the property’s heating system
- power station efficiency for electricity
- the energy used to produce the fuel and deliver it to the property
Environmental impact of this property
This property’s current environmental impact rating is C. It has the potential to be C.
Properties get a rating from A (best) to G (worst) on how much carbon dioxide (CO2) they produce each year. CO2 harms the environment.
- An average household produces
- 6 tonnes of CO2
- This property produces
- 2.2 tonnes of CO2
- This property’s potential production
- 1.9 tonnes of CO2
You could improve this property’s CO2 emissions by making the suggested changes. This will help to protect the environment.
Environmental impact ratings are based on assumptions about average occupancy and energy use. They may not reflect how energy is consumed by the people living at the property.
Improve this property’s energy rating
Follow these steps to improve the energy rating and score.
Do I need to follow these steps in order?
Yes. Each step builds on the one before it so you can save the most energy.
For example, it’s more energy efficient to insulate your home before you buy a new boiler. A well insulated home will lose less heat so you do not have to run your boiler as often.
Step 1: Floor insulation (solid floor)
- Typical installation cost
- £4,000 - £6,000
- Typical yearly saving
- £61
- Potential rating after completing step 1
Paying for energy improvements
You might be able to get a grant from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. This will help you buy a more efficient, low carbon heating system for this property.
Estimated energy use and potential savings
Based on average energy costs when this EPC was created:
- Estimated yearly energy cost for this property
- £589
- Potential saving if you complete every step in order
- £61
The estimated cost shows how much the average household would spend in this property for heating, lighting and hot water. It is not based on how energy is used by the people living at the property.
Heating use in this property
Heating a property usually makes up the majority of energy costs.
| Type of heating | Estimated energy used |
|---|---|
| Space heating | 5289 kWh per year |
| Water heating | 1855 kWh per year |
Potential energy savings by installing insulation
The assessor did not find any opportunities to save energy by installing insulation in this property.

Contacting the assessor and accreditation scheme
This EPC was created by a qualified energy assessor.
If you are unhappy about your property’s energy assessment or certificate, you can complain to the assessor directly.
If you are still unhappy after contacting the assessor, you should contact the assessor’s accreditation scheme.
Accreditation schemes are appointed by the government to ensure that assessors are qualified to carry out EPC assessments.

Show information about the RdSAP
RdSAP (Reduced data Standard Assessment Procedure) is a method used to assess and compare the energy and environmental performance of properties in the UK. It uses a site visit and survey of the property to calculate energy performance.
This type of assessment can be carried out on properties built before 1 April 2008 in England and Wales, and 30 September 2008 in Northern Ireland. It can also be used for newer properties, as long as they have a previous SAP assessment, which uses detailed information about the property’s construction to calculate energy performance.
