Why Millbrook homes score as they do
How old Millbrook's homes are
35% of the housing here pre-dates 1919, according to the VOA. Older, solid-walled homes tend to rate lower: in the South East Cornwall constituency, pre-1929 homes have a median of 52, against 71 for 1983 to 2011 homes.
Off-gas heating
Of Millbrook's 1,062 households, 4% relied on mains gas alone in the 2021 Census. Other single fuels: oil 38%, electricity 30%, bottled or tank gas (LPG) 7%, renewables such as heat pumps 2%. 14% combined more than one, and 4% had no central heating. EPC ratings rest on modelled running costs, so oil, LPG and older electric systems usually score lower than gas.
