Hi All,
I am planning to buy a property that has EPC rating E.
| Feature | Description | Rating |
|---|---|---|
| Wall | Cavity wall, as built, no insulation (assumed) | Poor |
| Roof | Pitched, insulated at rafters | Very poor |
| Roof | Roof room(s), no insulation (assumed) | Very poor |
| Window | Full secondary glazing | Good |
| 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 all fixed outlets | Very good |
| Floor | Suspended, no insulation (assumed) | N/A |
| Secondary heating | Room heaters, dual fuel (mineral and wood) | N/A |
The property has baseboard / skirting board radiator.
It is a 1930's detached house. We have already maxed our budget and worried that it may take more than 10K to fix the EPC rating. Could someone knowledgable please advice on potential cost to improve EPC rating to D? The potential rating is D so I assume it may not be easy to improve any further. Worried the government is planning to allow only EPC C or less houses for renting from 2030s. Should I bought this house?
