About This E-Rated Property
This semi-detached house is located in NEWQUAY, TR8 5LL. The property offers 84m² (904 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (52/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (81/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1132, comprising £882 for heating, £163 for hot water, and £87 for lighting. The property produces 4.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
