Rules on letting this property
You may not be able to let this property
This property has an energy rating of F. It cannot be let, unless an exemption has been registered. You can read guidance for landlords on the regulations and exemptions.
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 | Cavity wall, as built, no insulation (assumed) | Poor |
Roof | Roof room(s), no insulation | Very poor |
Roof | Pitched, no insulation | Very poor |
Window | Partial double glazing | Poor |
Main heating | Boiler and radiators, mains gas | Very good |
Main heating control | Programmer, room thermostat and TRVs | Average |
Hot water | From main system | Very good |
Lighting | No low energy lighting | Very poor |
Floor | Suspended, no insulation (assumed) | N/A |
Secondary heating | Room heaters, mains gas | N/A |
Primary energy use
The primary energy use for this property per year is 426 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
How this affects your energy bills
An average household would need to spend £2,796 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 £160 per year if you complete the suggested steps for improving this property’s energy rating.
This is based on average costs in 2009 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
- 20.0 tonnes of CO2
- This property’s potential production
- 19.0 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.
Step 1: Loft insulation
Loft insulation laid in the loft space or between roof rafters to a depth of at least 270 mm will significantly reduce heat loss through the roof; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuel bills. Insulation should not be placed below any cold water storage tank, any such tank should also be insulated on its sides and top, and there should be boarding on battens over the insulation to provide safe access between the loft hatch and the cold water tank. The insulation can be installed by professional contractors but also by a capable DIY enthusiast. Loose granules may be used instead of insulation quilt; this form of loft insulation can be blown into place and can be useful where access is difficult. The loft space must have adequate ventilation to prevent dampness; seek advice about this if unsure. Further information about loft insulation and details of local contractors can be obtained from the National Insulation Association (www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk).

Step 2: Low energy lighting
Replacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over the lifetime of the bulb, and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting low energy light fittings when redecorating; contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of Domestic Energy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings.

Step 3: Double glazing
Double glazing is the term given to a system where two panes of glass are made up into a sealed unit. Replacing existing single-glazed windows with double glazing will improve comfort in the home by reducing draughts and cold spots near windows. Double-glazed windows may also reduce noise, improve security and combat problems with condensation. Building Regulations apply to this work, so either use a contractor who is registered with a competent persons scheme? or obtain advice from your local authority building control department.

Step 4: Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels
A solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no waste and no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. The British Photovoltaic Association has up-to-date information on local installers who are qualified electricians and on any grant that may be available. Planning restrictions may apply in certain neighbourhoods and you should check this with the local authority. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is appropriately qualified and registered as such with a competent persons scheme?, and can therefore self-certify the work for Building Regulation compliance.

Help 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.

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.
