  • The assessment itself takes 30 to 60 minutes for a typical home.
  • An EPC is a legal requirement before a Althorpe property is marketed for sale or let.

Booking, step by step

  1. Start with the address. With the type and bedroom count we can quote a fixed figure immediately.
  2. Choose AM, PM or anytime. No rigid time slots to guess at. We confirm the exact time the day before.
  3. Let the assessor in. Someone needs to provide access to every room, including the loft hatch.
  4. Get the certificate. We lodge it to the national register and email it to you, usually the same or next day.

What the assessor looks at in a Althorpe property

Althorpe is characterised by Victorian terraces and later infill, with a mix of private and social ownership — the streets around Althorpe Street and the old gasworks site, and out through Althorpe Street, Ranelagh Street, Court Street and Satchwell Street. On Regency and Victorian stock, the assessor is mainly recording solid walls with no cavity to fill, original sash windows that cannot simply be replaced, and roof and floor voids that were never designed to hold insulation.

Mains gas is the assumption the calculation is kindest to. Anything else — oil, LPG, direct electric — costs points before the fabric is even considered.

Expect the assessor to be on site for around three quarters of an hour, measuring and photographing. It is a survey of what is visible, which is exactly why paperwork matters.

How to prepare

  • Find any cavity-wall or loft-insulation certificates
  • Have the boiler make, model and service record to hand
  • Unlock any outbuildings, garages or annexes that form part of the property
  • Dig out building-control paperwork for any extension
  • Note the age of the windows and whether the units are sealed double glazing
  • Clear access to the loft hatch — an assessor who cannot see the insulation must assume the worst
