An EPC records a property's energy efficiency and assigns a band from A to G, along with recommendations for improvement. One is normally needed before a home can be advertised for sale or rent.
Property in Forfar spans older period homes, mid-century housing and newer estates. An EPC may be needed for any of them, whether it is a terrace, a semi-detached or detached house, a converted flat or a modern build.
Inside the EPC assessment
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
- lighting
- any renewable technologies such as solar panels
- windows and glazing
- 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.
