Landlords - rental properties will soon require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) whenever a property is let to a new tenant (tenancy renewals do not require a new EPC). Regulations state that the EPC must be available when the tenant is offered a tenancy. Don't get caught out and leave it to the last minute. Let us provide your EPC now and save the hassle.
We also offer a full inventory checking and condition service, backed up with photographic evidence. Contact us now for your EPC and property inventory.

Fees for rental properties are based on multiples of properties to be assessed and locality, are quoted per EPC and are all subject to VAT @ 17.5%. Our pricing assumes properties are all within the same post code district (for example: KT5):

  • 1 property - £75
  • 2 - 5 properties - £70
  • 6 - 10 properties - £65
  • 11 - 20 properties - £60
  • 21+ properties - £55
Contact us for properties across mixed postcodes and additional pricing of inventory and property condition checks.

     
Social Housing. We provide EPCs for Social Housing stock to landlords, Registered Social Landlords (RSLs), Local Authorities and Housing Associations, utilising 'sampling' and 'cloning'.

'Cloned' EPCs start from £25 + VAT per EPC. Fees for inspected properties follow the pricing structure for multiple rental properties.

Please contact us for further information about these services.

What is assessed for an EPC?
The property is measured to calculate the volume, including any extensions. Assessment is made of the construction type, together with any insulation (wall and loft). The type of heating and controls (programmers/ thermostatic radiator valves etc) are also assessed. The assessor will calculate the proportion of energy efficient lighting and double-glazing installed.

EPC graph

To assist with the energy inspection, the owner should try to provide any documents (planning permission/building regs approvals; guarantees; boiler/insulation/double-glazing installation documentation etc) which will enable accurate dating of these elements to be recorded.

The results of the inspection are entered onto a software programme which performs various calculations to produce the EPC Energy Efficiency and Environmental Impact ratings. These results are displayed on bar graphs, similar to those used on new domestic appliances. The report also produces some recommendations which can be implemented to improve these ratings.
