Energy performance surveys
We complete an Energy Performance Survey to check on the energy standard of the home.
An EPC is a legal requirement to check if the property meets energy performance standards and how effectively it can retain heat.
The inspection takes around 1 hour to complete and includes checking:
- Wall cavity and roof, including insulation (if applicable)
- Thickness of insulation
- Window type, and whether they are double glazed
- Type of heating system (boilers and radiators) and their controls
- Hot water system
- Lighting type in the property
- Type of flooring, such as solid or carpeted, and if insulation is present (we won't remove carpets or linoleum)
- Any secondary heating sources
We may ask an external company to complete these visits on our behalf.
The EPC inspection will generate a report that you can view at home once it is published here
Report includes:
- CO2 emissions produced (in tonnes)
- Estimated cost of heating
- Recommendations for improving the energy performance rating (although these are not mandatory)
- Rating of the property's energy performance from Excellent to Very Poor
We have some contractors acting on our behalf for EPC surveys such as:
- Gully Howard
- Glentworth DA
- Baxter Kelly
- MB Solutions
They may contact you to book in a survey to do with your EPC
