An Energy Performance Certificate summarises how energy efficient a home is, scoring it from A down to G. In most cases a valid EPC must be in place before a property is marketed to buyers or tenants.
Like most parts of the country, Dunbar 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 assessment is a straightforward survey in which the assessor records the property's key characteristics, including:
- the size and layout of the home
- property age and construction type
- the heating system and its controls
- insulation
- any renewable technologies such as solar panels
- lighting
- windows and glazing
- energy efficiency upgrades and paperwork
From this the assessor works out the EPC band and prepares a report of recommendations. Larger or converted properties may take a little more time, so it is worth flagging anything unusual when arranging the visit.
Booking an EPC in Dunbar
