About Waves

A plain-English summary derived from public records, EPC certificates, sold prices and local data.

Waves is a one-bedroom mid-terrace house in Watergate Bay, Newquay, Newquay (TR8 4AY). It has a recorded floor area of 48 m² (around 517 sq ft) and construction records dating it to 2003-2006. The latest certificate (February 2026) returns a B (score 84), comfortably above the UK average. The rating has held steady at B across 3 certificates since February 2011. Between certificates, hot-water efficiency went from Poor to Good; while window efficiency dropped from Good to Average. Main heating runs on electricity. This certificate was lodged in the last six months, so the rating reflects current condition. At 48 m² this is the 10th smallest of 33 units on EPC record in Waves, where floor areas span 36–86 m². The building's EPC ratings span D to B, with this unit at the top. The property has underfloor heating on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal.
