What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a crucial document that provides an overview of the energy efficiency of a property. It ranks the property on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is a legal requirement for anyone selling, renting, or building a property in the UK. The EPC not only gives potential buyers and tenants insight into a property’s energy performance and potential heating costs but also outlines recommendations for improving its efficiency.

Accreditation

All our Energy Performance Certificate Assessors are fully accredited and have undergone rigorous training to evaluate your property’s energy performance. They are equipped with the knowledge and tools to provide a comprehensive and accurate assessment.

Domestic Energy Assessors (DEAs)

Our DEAs are experts in analysing residential properties. They play a crucial role in the assessment process, offering you peace of mind that your EPC rating reflects the true energy efficiency of your home.

The Assessment Process: Booking an assessment is simple. Once you’ve found your local assessor on our site, you can book an appointment online. The assessor will visit your property to examine elements such as insulation, heating systems, and windows. This non-invasive process typically takes 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on the size and complexity of your property.

Expectations and Limitations: While our assessors strive to provide a seamless and thorough evaluation, it’s important to understand that the assessment focuses on the energy performance of the building itself. Personal energy usage habits are not taken into account in the EPC rating.

Ratings and Recommendations: Following the assessment, you’ll receive an EPC that includes a rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). The certificate also offers recommendations for improving your property’s energy efficiency, which could help reduce your energy bills and environmental impact.

Lodgement: Your EPC will be lodged on the national register, making it accessible to potential buyers or tenants as required by law. This ensures transparency and provides valuable information on the energy performance of properties.

Exemptions: Some properties may be exempt from requiring an EPC. These include listed buildings, temporary structures, and places of worship. Our assessors can advise you on whether your property qualifies for an exemption.

Validity: Your EPC is valid for 10 years. It can be used multiple times within this period, whether for selling, renting, or assessing energy performance improvements.

Expiration: As your EPC nears expiration, or if you undertake significant modifications to your property, a new assessment will be necessary to reflect its current energy performance accurately.

Radon in Kendal

Kendal sits in a radon Affected Area. The UKHSA and British Geological Survey put the 1km square covering the town centre in a band where between 10 and 30 in 100 homes are estimated to be at or above the radon action level of 200 becquerels per cubic metre. Radon is not measured during an EPC survey and does not affect the rating, but if you are buying, selling or improving a home here it is worth a test kit, and worth knowing before you seal a property up: draught-proofing and insulation work can raise indoor radon if ventilation is reduced. The atlas is indicative and works to a 1km grid, so it describes the area rather than any one property.

Listed buildings and conservation areas

Planning records published for the area within a mile of Kendal centre show 1 conservation area and 4 listed buildings. That matters for an EPC in two ways. A listed building is normally exempt from needing one where meeting the minimum energy requirements would unacceptably alter its character or appearance, though the exemption is not automatic and the decision rests with the owner on advice. And in conservation areas and article 4 areas the improvements an EPC recommends, replacement glazing or external wall insulation in particular, often need consent before they can be carried out. Your assessor will record what is actually there; the consent question is one for the council.

What an EPC costs in Kendal

An EPC around here generally costs between £55 and £150, though it depends on the property: floor area, whether there are rooms in the roof, extensions, and how far the assessor travels all move the price. We are not a panel and we do not set anybody's fees, so the figure you are quoted comes from the assessor doing the work. Contact one above for a price on your property.
