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
- any energy efficiency upgrades you have evidence of
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.
