Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in NEWQUAY, TR8 4NQ. The property offers 51.3m² (552 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated G (20/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a F rating (23/100). The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £1208, comprising £906 for heating, £263 for hot water, and £39 for lighting. The property produces 4.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
