An Energy Performance Certificate rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale from A at the top to G at the bottom. A valid EPC is normally required before a house or flat is put up for sale or let.
Like most parts of the country, Chessington has a varied housing stock — a mix of older and character homes alongside more modern properties. EPCs are commonly required for terraced, semi-detached and detached houses as well as flats and recent developments.
What the assessor looks at
The assessor carries out a non-invasive survey of the property and notes the features that influence its energy rating, such as:
- the size and layout of the home
- property age and construction type
- the heating system and its controls
- insulation
- windows and glazing
- lighting
- any renewable technologies such as solar panels
- any energy efficiency upgrades you have evidence of
The assessor then uses this information to calculate the rating and produce a recommendation report. Older or unusually laid-out homes can take a little longer, so it helps to mention any unusual features when you book.
Booking an EPC in Chessington
Many people looking for an EPC in Chessington already have a sale, letting or listing under way. An estate agent may have asked for the certificate before marketing begins, or a landlord may need one before advertising a rental. Booking early helps avoid delays and gives the assessor more flexibility with older or larger properties.
