Rules on letting this property
You may not be able to let this property
This property has an energy rating of G. It cannot be let, unless an exemption has been registered. You can read guidance for landlords on the regulations and exemptions.
Properties can be rented if they have an energy rating from A to E. The recommendations section sets out changes you can make to improve the property’s rating.
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 | Solid brick, as built, no insulation (assumed) | Very poor |
| Roof | Pitched, no insulation (assumed) | Very poor |
| Window | Partial double glazing | Poor |
| Main heating | Boiler and radiators, oil | Average |
| Main heating control | No time or thermostatic control of room temperature | Very poor |
| Lighting | From main system, no cylinderstat | Poor |
| Secondary heating | Low energy lighting in 14% of fixed outlets | Poor |
| Floor | Suspended, no insulation (assumed) | N/A |
| Hot water | none | N/A |
Primary energy use
The primary energy use for this property per year is 45680 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 G. It has the potential to be F.
Properties are rated in a scale from A to G based on how much carbon dioxide (CO2) they produce.
Properties with an A rating produce less CO2 than G rated properties.
- An average household produces
- 6 tonnes of CO2
- This property produces
- 172.0 tonnes of CO2
- This property’s potential production
- 9446.0 tonnes of CO2
By making the recommended changes, you could reduce this property’s CO2 emissions by -9274.0 tonnes per year. 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.
How to improve this property’s energy performance
Making any of the recommended changes will improve this property’s energy efficiency.
If you make all of the recommended changes, this will improve the property’s energy rating and score from G (10) to F (30).
What is an energy rating?
Properties are given a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
Properties are also given a score. The higher this number, the lower your CO2 emissions are likely to be.
Recommendation 1:
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.

- Typical yearly saving
- £19
- Potential rating after carrying out recommendation 1
Recommendation 2:
The heating system would benefit from a programmer and room thermostat to ensure the boiler switches off when no heat is required. Thermostatic radiator valves should also be installed, to allow the temperature of each room to be controlled to suit individual needs, adding to comfort and reducing heating bills. For example, they can be set to be warmer in the living room and bathroom than in the bedrooms. Ask a competent heating engineer to install radiator valves and a fully pumped system with the pump and the boiler turned off by the room thermostat. Radiator valves should be fitted to every radiator except one - the radiator in the same room as the room thermostat. Remember the room thermostat is needed as well as the thermostatic radiator valves, to ensure the boiler switches off when no heat is required.

- Potential rating after carrying out recommendations 1 and 2
Recommendation 3:
A condensing boiler is capable of much higher efficiencies than other types of boiler, meaning it will burn less fuel to heat this property. This improvement is most appropriate when the existing central heating boiler needs repair or replacement. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is registered with a competent persons scheme{1}, and can therefore self-certify the work for Building Regulation compliance.

- Potential rating after carrying out recommendations 1 to 3
Recommendation 4:
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{1} or obtain advice from your local authority building control department.

- Potential rating after carrying out recommendations 1 to 4
Recommendation 5:
Solid wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulation to either the inside or the outside surface of the external walls, which reduces heat loss and fuel bills. As it is relatively expensive it is only recommended for walls without a cavity, or where for technical reasons a cavity cannot be filled. Internal insulation, sometimes known as dry-lining, is where a layer of insulation is fixed to the inside surface of external walls; this type of insulation is best applied when rooms require redecorating and can be installed by a competent DIY enthusiast. External solid wall insulation is the application of an insulant and a weather- protective finish to the outside of the wall. This may improve the look of the home, particularly where existing brickwork or rendering is poor, and will provide long-lasting weather protection. The External Wall Insulation Association keeps a register of professional installers. It should be noted that planning permission might be required.

Recommendation 6:
A solar photovoltaic (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 Solar Trade Association has up-to-date information on local installers and any grant that may be available. Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer is registered with a competent persons scheme{1}, and can therefore self-certify the work for Building Regulation compliance.

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.
