About This Property

This terraced house is located in TRURO, TR1 2EQ. The property offers 80.8m² (870 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property holds an EPC rating of C (73/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. The property benefits from a highly efficient gas central heating system, likely a modern condensing boiler achieving 90%+ efficiency. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £583, comprising £450 for heating, £93 for hot water, and £40 for lighting. The property produces 2.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
