Homes in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea

Newbiggin is an old fishing village that later became a mining town, with terraces close to the bay and later estates behind them.

Homes facing the sea take the full force of the weather, so glazing and draught-proofing matter. Older terraces with solid walls generally rate lower than the later homes.

Getting homes in Newbiggin-by-the-Sea to C

The government plans to require EPC C for private rentals by 1 October 2030. We read the certificates of 200 Newbiggin-by-the-Sea homes rated D to G. These are the improvements they suggest most often. Doing everything on its certificate, usually ending with solar panels, would take 92% of those homes to C or better.

Percentages are the share of those homes whose certificate suggests it. Costs are the register's typical ranges, not quotes.
