About This E-Rated Property

This terraced bungalow is located in NEWQUAY, TR8 4LH. The property offers 53m² (570 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. The property has an EPC rating of E (42/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £966, comprising £644 for heating, £251 for hot water, and £71 for lighting. The property produces 6.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
