EPC New Malden
Looking for an EPC in New Malden? Get in touch with a local accredited energy assessor to check when they are free, confirm the cost and arrange a visit.
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.
The housing in and around New Malden covers everything from older and period homes to post-war housing and modern estates. That means EPCs are regularly carried out on terraces, semis, detached houses, flats and new-build properties.
What the assessor looks at
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
- lighting
- windows and glazing
- any renewable technologies such as solar panels
- 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.
