About This Property
This terraced house is located in NEWQUAY, TR8 5LP. The property offers 90m² (969 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. With an EPC rating of D (57/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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 £1339, comprising £926 for heating, £348 for hot water, and £65 for lighting. The property produces 4.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
