Energy performance certificate (EPC)

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	Solid brick, as built, no insulation (assumed)	Very poor
Wall	Cavity wall, as built, insulated (assumed)	Good
Roof	Pitched, 25 mm loft insulation	Poor
Window	Fully double glazed	Good
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 all fixed outlets	Very good
Floor	Solid, no insulation (assumed)	N/A
Secondary heating	None	N/A

Primary energy use

The primary energy use for this property per year is 288 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 £2,208 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 £1,009 per year if you complete the suggested steps for improving this property’s energy rating.

This is based on average costs in 2024 when this EPC was created. People living at the property may use different amounts of energy for heating, hot water and lighting.

Heating this property

Estimated energy needed in this property is:

19,446 kWh per year for heating
2,951 kWh per year for hot water

Impact on the environment

This property’s environmental impact rating is E. It has the potential to be B.

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: 5.7 tonnes of CO2
This property’s potential production: 2.0 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: Increase loft insulation to 270 mm

Typical installation cost: £100 - £350
Typical yearly saving: £277
Potential rating after completing step 1

Step 2: Internal or external wall insulation

Typical installation cost: £4,000 - £14,000
Typical yearly saving: £452
Potential rating after completing steps 1 and 2

Step 3: Floor insulation (solid floor)

Typical installation cost: £4,000 - £6,000
Typical yearly saving: £186
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 3

Step 4: Solar water heating

Typical installation cost: £4,000 - £6,000
Typical yearly saving: £94
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 4

Step 5: Solar photovoltaic panels, 2.5 kWp

Typical installation cost: £3,500 - £5,500
Typical yearly saving: £548
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 5

Help paying for energy improvements

About this assessment

Assessor’s declaration: No related party
Date of assessment: 5 March 2024
Date of certificate: 13 March 2024
Type of assessment: 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.
