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 Knutsford 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.
How an EPC assessment works
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
- any renewable technologies such as solar panels
- lighting
- 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.
How soon can I get an EPC in Knutsford?
