Get started9 The Gorses is a three-bedroom detached house in Bexhill On Sea (TN39 3BE). It has a recorded floor area of 107 m² (around 1152 sq ft), construction records dating it to 1930-1949 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (October 2014) shows a G (score 14), near the bottom of the EPC scale. Earlier certificates rated it E (June 2014); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Poor to Good and window efficiency went from Average to Good; while roof efficiency dropped from Average to Very Poor and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to C (score 80), a 4-band jump. Main heating runs on to be used only when there is no heating/hot. The latest certificate is from October 2014, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
