About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in NEWQUAY, TR8 5ET. The property offers 276.97mยฒ (2981 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (48/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. 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 roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs ยฃ400-ยฃ600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ3313, comprising ยฃ3057 for heating, ยฃ146 for hot water, and ยฃ110 for lighting. The property produces 18.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
