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.
Homes in Totnes range from older terraced and period properties through to more recent developments, so EPCs are needed for a wide mix of house types — terraces, semi-detached and detached houses, converted flats and newer builds.
How an EPC assessment works
A qualified assessor visits the property and gathers the information needed to produce the certificate, looking at things like:
- 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
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.
Booking an EPC in Totnes
If you are selling or letting in Totnes, it is worth arranging the EPC as early as possible. Estate agents often ask for it before a property is advertised, and booking ahead reduces the risk of the certificate holding up a sale or tenancy.
