Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs)

Residential EPCs

If you are putting together your own Home Information Pack in order to save money, renting out a residential property, or are looking to commission an EPC in order to see what savings you can make on your energy bills, we are able to offer EPCs for £45 plus VAT for most properties.

As the calculations and data gathering required are relatively straightforward we do not charge extra per bedroom or for more expensive homes. However, if your property is an unusual shape or has extensive extensions, rooms in the roof, or an unusual form of construction, then the EPC may take longer to carry out and will therefore attract a larger fee.

Most EPC inspections take between 15-30 minutes to complete and we aim to carry out a same or next day service (subject to access arrangements) with emailed reports being issued within 24 hours of inspection. We carry full PI insurance and as we are also Chartered Surveyors you can rest assured that the service you receive will be thorough and professional.

Commercial EPCs

Under the EU Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), from 1st October 2008, all commercial property in the UK over 50 sq metres in size will have to have an EPC upon construction, or prior to sale or lease of the property. Solicitors acting for the ingoing owner or tenant are now calling for these Certificates as a condition of completing the acquisition and there are very few exceptions to providing them.

We are able to supply competitively priced commercial EPCs via our consultant Joanna Steadman who is also a Chartered Surveyor.
