An Energy Performance Certificate shows how energy efficient a property is, rating it from A at the top of the scale to G at the bottom. You will usually need a valid EPC before marketing a home for sale or rent.
Ashby-de-la-Zouch is a market town in north-west Leicestershire, known for its ruined medieval castle and its Georgian high street. Its housing combines period townhouses and older cottages in and around the centre with Victorian terraces, mid-century semis and a considerable amount of modern estate development on the town's edges. EPCs are commonly needed here for period homes, terraced and semi-detached houses, converted flats and new-build properties.
What the assessor looks at
A domestic EPC in Ashby-de-la-Zouch is usually simple and quick. The assessor visits in person and records the features that determine the rating for that individual property.
- the size and layout of the home
- the age and construction type
- the heating system and its controls
- insulation to the loft, walls and floors
- windows and glazing
- lighting
- any renewable technology present
- any energy efficiency upgrades you have evidence of
That information is used to calculate the EPC rating and produce a recommendation report. Older period properties with solid walls and original features can take a little longer to assess, so mention anything unusual when arranging the visit.
