About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in NEWQUAY, TR8 5AT. The property offers 64mยฒ (689 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (41/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for ยฃ7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ990, comprising ยฃ652 for heating, ยฃ290 for hot water, and ยฃ48 for lighting. The property produces 2.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. For landlords: This property currently meets the minimum E rating requirement under MEES regulations. However, the government has proposed increasing the minimum to C by 2028 for new tenancies and 2030 for existing tenancies, so consider planning upgrades now.
