Energy Performance Certificates in Barnstaple

EPC assessments for Barnstaple properties

An EPC gives a home an energy-efficiency rating from A to G and records recommendations that may improve its performance. It is commonly required when a property is marketed for sale or rent and can also be useful before remortgaging or planning improvements.

We work with homeowners, landlords and property professionals across Barnstaple. Tell us the property address, why the certificate is needed and your preferred timing, and we will help arrange the appropriate assessment.

Preparing for the appointment

The assessor needs safe access to the property and will visually record features including construction, heating, insulation, glazing and fixed lighting.

• Make boilers, heating controls and hot-water cylinders accessible
• Provide any documents for extensions, insulation or renewable technology
• Allow access to the loft where it is safe and practical
• Make sure all rooms and fixed heating systems can be inspected

After the assessment

Once the assessment is completed and lodged, the EPC appears on the official government register. The report shows the current rating, the potential rating and a list of suggested measures. The recommendations are modelled guidance rather than quotations, so obtain suitable professional advice before commissioning work.
