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.
Homes in Faversham range from older terraced and period properties through to more recent developments, so EPCs are needed for a wide mix of house types — terraces, semi-detached and detached houses, converted flats and newer builds.
What happens during the 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
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.
