The graph shows a property's current and potential energy efficiency.

Properties are given a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

Rules on letting a property

Properties can be rented if they have an energy rating from A to E.

If the property is rated F or G, it cannot be let, unless an exemption has been registered. You can read guidance for landlords on the regulations and exemptions.

Breakdown of property's energy performance

This section shows the energy performance for features of a 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)

*Here is where your building information is situated on the EPC. This information does not relate to your property. This is an example and does not reflect your property.

Feature Description Rating
Wall Cavity wall, as built, no insulation (assumed) Poor
Roof Pitched, 75 mm loft insulation Average
Window Single glazed Very Poor
Main heating Boiler and radiators, mains gas Good
Main heating control Programmer and room thermostat Average
Hot water From main system Good
Lighting Low energy lighting in 9% of fixed outlets Very Poor
Floor Solid, no insulation (assumed) N/A
Secondary heating None N/A

These figures show how much the average household would spend on this property for heating, lighting and hot water and are not based on energy used by individual households. This excludes energy use for running appliances like TVs, computers and cookers, and electricity generated by microgeneration.

Top actions you can take to save money and make your home more efficient

Example Recommendation measures
1. Increase loft insulation to 270 mm
2. Cavity wall insulation
3. Increase hot water cylinder insulation
4. Low energy lighting for all fixed outlets
5. Heating controls (thermostatic radiator valves)
6. Replace boiler with new condensing boiler
7. Solar water heating
8. Replace single glazed windows with low-E double glazed windows
9. Solar photovoltaic panels, 2.5 kWp
