Properties can be let if they have an energy rating from A to E. You could make changes to improve this property’s energy rating.
Breakdown of property’s energy performance
Features in this property
Features get a rating from very good to very poor, based on how energy efficient they are. Ratings are not based on how well features work or their condition.
Assumed ratings are based on the property’s age and type. They are used for features the assessor could not inspect.
Feature | Description | Rating |
---|---|---|
Wall | Sandstone, as built, no insulation (assumed) | Very poor |
Wall | Cavity wall, as built, no insulation (assumed) | Poor |
Roof | Pitched, 75 mm loft insulation | Average |
Roof | Pitched, no insulation (assumed) | Very poor |
Window | Full secondary glazing | Good |
Main heating | Electric storage heaters | Poor |
Main heating control | Manual charge control | Poor |
Hot water | From secondary system, no cylinder thermostat | Poor |
Lighting | Low energy lighting in 67% of fixed outlets | Good |
Floor | Solid, no insulation (assumed) | N/A |
Secondary heating | Room heaters, dual fuel (mineral and wood) | N/A |
Primary energy use
The primary energy use for this property per year is 823 kilowatt hours per square metre (kWh/m2).
About 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

Wall type does not correspond to options available in RdSAP
The dwelling has a type of wall that is not included in the available options. The nearest equivalent type was used for the assessment.
How this affects your energy bills
An average household would need to spend £1,050 per year on heating, hot water and lighting in this property. These costs usually make up the majority of your energy bills.
You could save £204 per year if you complete the suggested steps for improving this property’s energy rating.
This is based on average costs in 2010 when this EPC was created. People living at the property may use different amounts of energy for heating, hot water and lighting.
Impact on the environment
This property’s environmental impact rating is F. It has the potential to be F.
Properties get a rating from A (best) to G (worst) on how much carbon dioxide (CO2) they produce each year.
Carbon emissions
- An average household produces
- 6 tonnes of CO2
- This property produces
- 7.5 tonnes of CO2
- This property’s potential production
- 6.1 tonnes of CO2
You could improve this property’s CO2 emissions by making the suggested changes. This will help to protect the environment.
These ratings are based on assumptions about average occupancy and energy use. People living at the property may use different amounts of energy.
Changes you could make
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.

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.
