EPC Godalming
Booking an EPC in Godalming is straightforward — speak to a local accredited energy assessor to check their availability, agree a price and arrange the assessment.
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.
Property in Godalming 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
A qualified assessor visits the property and gathers the information needed to produce the certificate, looking at things like:
- 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
- windows and glazing
- lighting
- 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.
