EPC Burton Latimer

Looking for an EPC in Burton Latimer? You can contact a local accredited energy assessor directly to check availability, confirm the cost and arrange an appointment.

An Energy Performance Certificate rates a property’s energy efficiency from A at the top to G at the bottom, and a valid one is normally required before a home is put up for sale or to let.

Burton Latimer is a small town in North Northamptonshire, close to Kettering and Wellingborough in the Ise valley. Once known for its boot and shoe and milling industries, it retains older ironstone and brick properties in and around the older core, with a good deal of twentieth-century and modern estate housing added as the town has grown. EPCs in Burton Latimer may be needed for terraced and semi-detached houses, detached family homes, bungalows, converted flats, rental properties and newer builds.

What the assessor records

An EPC assessment is usually straightforward and non-intrusive. During the visit the assessor gathers details such as:

  • the size and layout of the property
  • its age and method of construction
  • the heating system and controls
  • insulation to the walls, loft and floors
  • glazing and windows
  • lighting
  • any renewable technology such as solar panels
  • energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork

This information produces the rating along with a recommendation report. Older stone or brick homes and extended properties can take a little longer, so let the assessor know of anything unusual when booking.

How quickly can I book an EPC in Burton Latimer?

Many people seeking an EPC in Burton Latimer are already partway through a sale or tenancy, with an agent or landlord requesting the certificate before marketing gets under way.

Booking ahead helps prevent delays and gives the assessor more scope to accommodate you, especially for larger or older properties.

EPCs for Burton Latimer landlords

A landlord letting a property in Burton Latimer needs a valid EPC in place, and the certificate is the clearest way to check the home meets the relevant Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards. Where a rental is an older stone or brick property, the EPC often shows where insulation, heating or glazing upgrades could improve efficiency before a new tenant moves in.

EPCs for homeowners selling a property

Radon in Burton Latimer

Burton Latimer sits in a radon Affected Area. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey put the 1km square covering the town centre in a band where more than 30 in 100 homes are estimated to be at or above the radon action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Radon is not measured during an EPC survey and does not affect the rating, but if you are buying, selling or improving a home here it is worth a test kit, and worth knowing before you seal a property up: draught-proofing and insulation work can raise indoor radon if ventilation is reduced. The atlas is indicative and works to a 1km grid, so it describes the area rather than any one property.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Planning records published for the area within a mile of Burton Latimer centre show 2 conservation areas. That matters for an EPC in two ways. A listed building is normally exempt from needing one where meeting the minimum energy requirements would unacceptably alter its character or appearance, though the exemption is not automatic and the decision rests with the owner on advice. And in conservation areas and article 4 areas the improvements an EPC recommends, replacement glazing or external wall insulation in particular, often need consent before they can be carried out. Your assessor will record what is actually there; the consent question is one for the council.

What an EPC costs in Burton Latimer

An EPC around here generally costs between £60 and £155, though it depends on the property: floor area, whether there are rooms in the roof, extensions, and how far the assessor travels all move the price. We are not a panel and we do not set anybody's fees, so the figure you are quoted comes from the assessor doing the work. Contact one above for a price on your property.
