What Does It Involve?
We make the process simple and straightforward for you. Once you have contacted us and made payment, we will ask you to complete a short questionnaire to give us the relevant information we need to carry out the EPC. An Assessor will then visit the property or properties and carry out the assessment. Once this has been completed, you will then access to your report and your certificate via the internet.
How Long Will It Take?
This depends largely on the size of the property but generally speaking an average 3 or 4 bedroom property should take no longer than an hour to assess. The report and certificate will generally be available to you within 24 hours thereafter.

What Happens If The Rating On My Property Is Low?

Do I Have To Act On All The DEA Recommendations?
Your report will contain recommendations and it is your choice as to whether you act on them. It is worth mention that the recommendations may have an impact on the potential value of your property.
