Energy performance certificate (EPC)

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, as built, no insulation (assumed)	Poor
Roof	Pitched, 25 mm loft insulation	Poor
Window	Fully double glazed	Good
Main heating	Boiler and radiators, oil	Average
Main heating control	Programmer, room thermostat and TRVs	Good
Hot water	From main system	Average
Lighting	Low energy lighting in 55% of fixed outlets	Good
Floor	Solid, no insulation (assumed)	N/A
Floor	Suspended, no insulation (assumed)	N/A
Secondary heating	Room heaters, oil	N/A

Primary energy use

The primary energy use for this property per year is 284 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 F. 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. CO2 harms the environment.

An average household produces: 6 tonnes of CO2
This property produces: 7.4 tonnes of CO2
This property’s potential production: 1.7 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: Increase loft insulation to 270 mm

Typical installation cost: £100 - £350
Typical yearly saving: £98
Potential rating after completing step 1

Step 2: Cavity wall insulation

Typical installation cost: £500 - £1,500
Typical yearly saving: £219
Potential rating after completing steps 1 and 2

Step 3: Floor insulation (solid floor)

Typical installation cost: £4,000 - £6,000
Typical yearly saving: £57
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 3

Step 4: Low energy lighting

Typical installation cost: £25
Typical yearly saving: £30
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 4

Step 5: Solar water heating

Typical installation cost: £4,000 - £6,000
Typical yearly saving: £55
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 5

Step 6: Solar photovoltaic panels, 2.5 kWp

Typical installation cost: £3,500 - £5,500
Typical yearly saving: £324
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 6

Step 7: Wind turbine

Typical installation cost: £15,000 - £25,000
Typical yearly saving: £653
Potential rating after completing steps 1 to 7

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: £1226
Potential saving if you complete every step in order: £458

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.

Estimated energy used to heat this property
Type of heating	Estimated energy used
Space heating	17498 kWh per year
Water heating	2913 kWh per year

Potential energy savings by installing insulation
Type of insulation	Amount of energy saved
Loft insulation	1852 kWh per year
Cavity wall insulation	4171 kWh per year

Assessment details

Assessor’s declaration: No related party
Date of assessment: 12 March 2020
Date of certificate: 19 March 2020
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.
