Domestic Energy Assessment (EPC)

If you’re looking to sell or rent your property you’ll need an EPC.

As a Domestic Energy Assessor I can help.

Covering Leicestershire, Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and Rutland.

EPC stands for Energy Performance Certificate and is a legal requirement when a property is sold or rented. It provides a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) as well as recommendations for improving energy efficiency. It must be made available to buyers or tenants before sale/rental agreement is completed.

An EPC is valid for 10 years from date of issue and may be reused during this period. Unless major changes have been made to the property to improve energy efficiency, another assessment is unnecessary until the end of the validity period.

Your Questions, Answered

What access with you require for the assessment?

Access will be required to the whole property, including externally, and to the loft space(s). Photos will also be required throughout. An energy assessor is required to collect information about the property such as: size, heating and ventilation systems, construction, glazing and insulation. No intrusive testing is carried out.

Should you have evidence or documentation for any of these aspects, it is advisable to have them to hand during the assessment.

What records do you keep?

The Domestic Energy Performance Certificate Register is operated by the Government. The EPC will be retained on the national database and is valid for 10 years. Evidence relating to the EPC assessment must be stored securely for 10 years. All records are kept in line with GDPR and are needed to be stored in case of future audits.

What payment methods do you accept?

The fee is agreed before the assessment and will be due upon completion of the survey of the property. I accept card payments before leaving the property or bank transfers. The fee must be paid before the EPC is lodged.
