What is an EPC?

An EPC, Energy Performance Certificate,is the measure of the energy efficiency of a building.

How do we make our assessment?

We look at a number of factors to determine the efficiency including:

Property Type House Flat, Bungalow etc

Construction Type Cavity Brick, Solid Brick, Timber Concrete etc

Age of the property

Heating System Gas/Electric/Oil/Solid Fuel/boiler type/ heating controls

Double Glazing

Insulation in Loft and exposed walls

All the data collected at the property is processed using Government approved RDSAP software which will then give a rating and produce a 6 page report. This report explains how the rating was achieved and details improvements that could be made to further enhance the property.

*The EPC is a legal requirement to market a property for sale or rent.

If you’re buying or renting ask to see a copy of the EPC, it contains valuable information that could help you in making a decision.
