An Energy Performance Certificate shows how energy efficient a property is, rating it on a scale from A down to G. You will normally need a valid EPC in place before selling or renting out a home.
Blairgowrie is a market town in Perth and Kinross, set on the River Ericht where the Perthshire lowlands meet the edge of the Highlands, and long associated with the surrounding soft-fruit growing country. Its housing ranges from traditional stone-built houses and older terraces near the centre to inter-war and post-war semis and more recent developments on the edges of town. EPC assessments here may be needed for stone-built houses, terraced properties, semi-detached and detached family homes, flats, rental properties and modern builds.
Local EPC assessments in Blairgowrie
With a mix of traditional stone housing and newer development, the EPC assessment required in Blairgowrie can vary from one property to another.
Older stone houses and terraces often have solid walls, traditional heating and original glazing, all of which affect the rating. Newer homes on the outer streets are built to modern insulation standards and generally perform differently. Because age and construction make such a difference, the assessor records the features of each individual property rather than assuming from its type or location.
What happens during an EPC assessment?
A domestic EPC assessment is usually quick and non-intrusive. The assessor visits the property and records details such as:
- the size and layout of the home
- property age and construction type
- heating system and heating controls
- insulation
- windows and glazing
- lighting
- any relevant renewable technologies
- any energy efficiency upgrades you have evidence of
The assessor then uses that information to produce the EPC rating and recommendation report. Older stone properties and homes with unusual layouts can take a little longer, so it helps to mention any distinctive features when arranging the appointment.
How quickly can I book an EPC in Blairgowrie?
Many people looking for an EPC in Blairgowrie already have a sale or tenancy moving forward. A selling agent may have asked for the certificate before marketing, or a landlord may need one before advertising a rental.
Booking early helps avoid unnecessary delays and gives the assessor more flexibility if the property is older, larger or more complex than average.
