Domestic EPC’s
Domestic EPC’S are a requirement when selling or renting your existing property (dwelling). This should be completed within 28 days of marketing your property. This is a legal requirement.
What is an EPC?
Energy performance certificates are used to overview the energy performance and efficiency of the building.
The report not only gives a rating from A-G (A being the highest, and G the lowest) but it also gives recommendations on how to further improve the efficiency and rating.
Be sure to discuss this with your assessor.
Your Visit
What will our assessor do?
Before the assessment – the assessor will collect any relevant information that may affect the property.
For example, they may ask you if there are any roof rooms present on the property. They will also prompt you to have any documentation ready for inspection as this is needed to prove the date of construction / insulation etc.
Don’t worry, our assessor will guide you through everything you need, before confirming a suitable appointment date and time with you.
On Arrival
The assessor will be taking site notes and photographs. This is to document anything found in the property. Remember, if they cannot see it and there is no evidence, they cannot include it. The assessor will do some of (but not limited to) the following things:
- Date the property
- Identify the wall construction and measure this
- Identify the floor construction.
- Identify the insulation within the walls, floors, roofs.
- Date and measure the wall thickness of any extensions, alongside floor and roof constructions/insulation.
- Identify heating systems and heating controls
- Identify lighting types
- Identify ventilation
- Measure the property’s length, width and height.
Post Visit
What happens after the visit?
The assessor will calculate floor areas, heat loss perimeter and party walls. Please note that some areas may not be applicable to an EPC. For example, a separated (with a door) conservatory will not need to be measured and will not reflect within your total floor area.
Your assessor will have stored the photos collected on site and will keep these for 15 years. They will enter the elements identified and measurements into their software. This will generate the EPC and recommendations.
Post EPC
The assessor is available to discuss the findings and recommendations if required. This should support your next steps.
