About This E-Rated Property
This detached house is located in NEWQUAY, TR8 4NB. The property offers 240mยฒ (2583 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (39/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (74/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 ยฃ2133, comprising ยฃ1861 for heating, ยฃ145 for hot water, and ยฃ127 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
