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
Walls	Average thermal transmittance 0.14 W/m²K	Very good
Roof	Average thermal transmittance 0.13 W/m²K	Very good
Floor	Average thermal transmittance 0.13 W/m²K	Very good
Windows	High performance glazing	Very good
Main heating	Boiler and underfloor heating, LPG	Poor
Main heating control	Time and temperature zone control	Very good
Hot water	From main system, plus solar	Average
Lighting	Low energy lighting in 94% of fixed outlets	Very good
Air tightness	Air permeability 6.0 m³/h.m² (as tested)	Good
Secondary heating	Room heaters, wood logs	N/A

Low and zero carbon energy sources

Low and zero carbon energy sources release very little or no CO2. Installing these sources may help reduce energy bills as well as cutting carbon emissions. The following low or zero carbon energy sources are installed in this property:

Biomass secondary heating
Solar water heating

Primary energy use

The primary energy use for this property per year is 71 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 B. It has the potential to be A.

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: 2.1 tonnes of CO2
This property’s potential production: -0.7 tonnes of CO2

By making the recommended changes, you could reduce this property’s CO2 emissions by 2.8 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.

Improve this property’s energy performance

By following our step by step recommendations you could reduce this property’s energy use and potentially save money.

Carrying out these changes in order will improve the property’s energy rating and score from C (76) to A (97).

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.

Potential energy rating

Step 1: Solar photovoltaic panels, 2.5 kWp

Typical installation cost: £3,500 - £5,500
Typical yearly saving: £374
Potential rating after completing step 1

Step 2: Wind turbine

Typical installation cost: £15,000 - £25,000
Typical yearly saving: £730
Potential rating after completing steps 1 and 2

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: £733
Potential saving if you complete every step in order: £0

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	5602 kWh per year
Water heating	2362 kWh per year

Potential energy savings by installing insulation

The assessor did not find any opportunities to save energy by installing insulation in this property.

Assessment details

Assessor’s declaration: No related party
Date of assessment: 2 December 2022
Date of certificate: 2 December 2022
Type of assessment: Show information about the SAP

SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) is a method used to assess and compare the energy and environmental performance of properties in the UK. It uses detailed information about the property’s construction to calculate energy performance.

This type of assessment must be carried out on all new properties built after 1 April 2008 in England and Wales, and 30 September 2008 in Northern Ireland.
