When a Tiverton property may need an EPC
A valid EPC is normally needed when marketing a home for sale or rent. An existing certificate may still be valid, so checking the government register is a sensible first step. A new assessment can also provide a fresh picture after substantial energy improvements.
Landlords, homeowners, estate agents and other property professionals can contact us with the address and required timescale to discuss the next available appointment.
What the assessment covers
The assessor gathers evidence about the building and its fixed services. This typically includes the property's age and construction, dimensions, heating and hot-water systems, windows, insulation, lighting and any relevant renewable technology.
The assessment is visual and non-destructive. Clear access to relevant areas helps the visit run efficiently and ensures available evidence can be recorded.
Understanding the completed certificate
The EPC records the current A-to-G rating alongside a potential rating and suggested improvements. It can help you identify which measures deserve further investigation, but actual installation costs and suitability should be confirmed with qualified contractors.
