Frequently asked questions
Do I need an EPC? Most probably yes. If you are selling or letting a property in England or Wales, with an estate agent or privately, regardless of it's age or number of bedrooms, you are legally required to provide an EPC.
Will somebody need to visit my property? Yes one of our trained Domestic Energy Assessors will contact you shortly after you have placed your order to arrange a convenient time to visit your property. The visit will take approximately one hour and will include tasks such as measuring your rooms, checking for insulation and examining boiler systems etc.
Could our property fail the energy inspection? No, you do not pass or fail the energy inspection. Your property will be assigned a grade between A - G depending on how energy efficient it is. You will also be provided with a report explaining how you could improve the energy efficiency of your home.
Why are your EPC’s so cheap? We are currently not VAT registered and being a small local company we have very low operating costs. These savings can be passed directly on to you, our customer.
Do you provide a paper copy of the EPC? Our EPCs are sent to you in digital format as an email attachment (a PDF file). This isn't as complicated as it might sound. When you receive your EPC email, you can read through it on your computer and then forward the email to your estate agent and/or prospective buyers with the click of the mouse. The government guidelines allow this and even state that if a buyer requests a hard copy, you are allowed to charge them a fee to print it and post it. In this situation you may refer them us, and we will charge the buyer £5.00 to post it to them.
