Flat 1 The Parade, Polzeath

Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This semi-detached flat is located in WADEBRIDGE, PL27 6SR. The property offers 102m² (1098 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (41/100). 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 flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £2775, comprising £2419 for heating, £262 for hot water, and £94 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
