EPC East Ham
If you need an EPC in East Ham, you can contact a local accredited energy assessor directly to confirm availability, price and a convenient appointment time.
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.
The housing in and around East Ham covers everything from older and period homes to post-war housing and modern estates. That means EPCs are regularly carried out on terraces, semis, detached houses, flats and new-build properties.
Inside the EPC assessment
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
This information feeds into the final rating and a list of recommended improvements. Period or non-standard homes can take slightly longer to assess, so let the assessor know about any quirks in advance.
