An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how energy efficient a property is, rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It includes recommendations for improving energy use and can help reduce bills.

EPCs are a legal requirement when selling or renting a property, and they’re valid for 10 years.

The EPC survey is a straightforward, non-invasive inspection that usually takes around 30-45 minutes, depending on the size of the property. During the visit, we'll gather key details about the property to assess its energy efficiency.

This includes:

• Drawing a basic floorplan

• Determining the construction type and age of the property

• Measuring the loft insulation (if accessible) 

• Noting the heating systems such as the boiler, radiators, and thermostats

• Checking for renewable technology such as solar panels 

We won't need to move any furniture or drill into any walls. Once the survey is complete, your EPC will be lodged on the official government register and sent to you within 24 hours.
