About Waves

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

Waves is a one-bedroom end-of-terrace house in Watergate Bay, Newquay, Newquay (TR8 4AY). It has a recorded floor area of 53 m² (around 570 sq ft), construction records dating it to 2003-2006 and council tax band C. The property has solar panels on record, all of which lower running costs and tend to lift resale appeal. Other recorded features include outbuildings. At 53 m² this is the 20th 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 bottom. The latest certificate (September 2021) shows a D (score 62), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. Earlier certificates rated it B (August 2010); the latest reading is 2 bands lower. Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Very Poor. Main heating runs on electricity.

On energy efficiency it sits in the bottom 10% of properties in this postcode — significant headroom for improvement. Sold February 2022 for £310,000. That sale was during the post-pandemic price surge, when transactions cleared materially above pre-2020 trend.
