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 Whetstone 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
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
- windows and glazing
- lighting
- 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.
Booking an EPC in Whetstone
Many people looking for an EPC in Whetstone already have a sale, letting or listing under way. An estate agent may have asked for the certificate before marketing begins, or a landlord may need one before advertising a rental. Booking early helps avoid delays and gives the assessor more flexibility with older or larger properties.
