EPC Fraserburgh

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) shows how energy efficient a property is and gives it a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). You will usually need a valid EPC before a home is marketed for sale or rent.
Property in Fraserburgh 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.
What happens during the assessment
During the visit the assessor inspects the property and records details that affect its energy performance, 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
- 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.
Booking an EPC in Fraserburgh
If you are selling or letting in Fraserburgh, it is worth arranging the EPC as early as possible. Estate agents often ask for it before a property is advertised, and booking ahead reduces the risk of the certificate holding up a sale or tenancy.
