Overview

About Lowertown Farm

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

Lowertown Farm is a detached house in Colan, Newquay, Newquay (TR8 4NB). It has a recorded floor area of 204 m² (around 2196 sq ft), construction records dating it to before 1900 and council tax band E. The latest certificate (September 2015) shows a D (score 61), on the cusp of jumping into the C band. When first surveyed in February 2012 the rating was E, the property has climbed 1 band since. Between certificates, wall efficiency went from Very Poor to Good, roof efficiency went from Poor to Very Good and window efficiency went from Very Poor to Poor; while hot-water efficiency dropped from Good to Average and main heating dropped from Good to Average. The recommended improvements would lift it to B (score 86), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from September 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.

4 planning records sit against the property, 2 approved, 0 refused. Past consents include an annexe and an extension, meaningful when judging how the property has evolved. Its energy rating outperforms most of the postcode (better than 75% of similar EPCs).
