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 Long Ditton 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
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
- lighting
- any renewable technologies such as solar panels
- any energy efficiency upgrades you have evidence of
The assessor then uses this information to calculate the rating and produce a recommendation report. Older or unusually laid-out homes can take a little longer, so it helps to mention any unusual features when you book.
How quickly can I book an EPC in Long Ditton?

An estate agent may have asked for the certificate before marketing begins, or a landlord may need one before advertising a rental.
