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.
The housing in and around Rickmansworth 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
The assessment is a straightforward survey in which the assessor records the property's key characteristics, including:
- 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
- lighting
- windows and glazing
- 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 Rickmansworth?
