Consultancy With a background in Environmental Science and Waste and Resource Management, we have developed ETD Consultancy Limited to provide a range of services and resources for domestic properties, for home owners and landlords, throughout central Scotland. Energy Performance Certificate What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)? An EPC provides an energy efficiency rating in relation to your property\u2019s running costs. In order to produce a legally valid EPC, an accredited Domestic Energy Advisor (DEA) will need to collect the following information for your property: Property Type (e.g. flat, house) Property age Number of floors and dimensions (to produce a floor plan) Glazing type and amount of glazing present Build type (e.g. brick, stone, timber frame) Insulation present at roof, walls and floors Heating system\/s and fuel type\/s New technologies (e.g. solar panels, heat pumps) When is an EPC required? An EPC is required when your property is marketed for sale or rent. In these cases it is advised that you book an EPC as soon as possible as not having a valid EPC can slow down the sale of a property and you cannot legally advertise your property for rent until you obtain one. Some grants and loans for energy saving initiatives may also require an EPC. Please note: If you intend to sell or rent your property and already have a valid EPC, it may still be worth considering renewing it if you have had any work completed that may contribute to greater energy efficiency. This may include new double glazing or heating system or the installation of new technologies e.g. solar panels, heat pumps, wind turbine etc. How long is and EPC valid? An EPC is valid for 10 years or until a newer EPC is lodged for the same property regardless of how many times the property is sold or rented during that time. How do I check if my property already has an EPC? The easiest way to check if your property has a valid EPC is to visit www.scottishepcregister.org.uk. Please note: this is the official and only register for Scotland and it is a free service. There are web sites that request a fee to provide you with a link to your EPC or a copy of your EPC but we feel this is unnecessary as it is quick, easy and free for you to access via the link provided above. The EPC can be viewed by entering the report reference number (RRN) on the document (this is a 20 digit number which is on the top right hand corner of the EPC), the RRN is five groups of four digits separated by dashes, e.g.\u00a0 1111-2222-3333-4444-5555. This is helpful if you have a paper copy of your EPC but would like an electronic copy. If you do not have this reference number, you can enter your postcode. The search facility will only allow you to view the current valid document for a building. Please note: not all EPCs are available on the register as central lodgement was phased in.\u00a0 EPC data available is as follows: All buildings which were newly constructed, with a building warrant application made after 9 January 2013 Dwellings sold or rented to a new tenant after 1 December 2008; and Non-domestic buildings sold, rented to a new tenant and public buildings from January 2013. How much does an EPC cost? The cost of an EPC can vary depending on several factors including: the size of your property, and travel costs. It can also cost more if you use a price comparison site. These sites will search for DEAs in your area but can be more costly than contacting DEAs directly as they may add administration charges. The table below provides a breakdown of the cost. Cost Explanation Assessment Submission Fee Accrediting schemes charge for each assessment submitted and include the cost of using software, quality assurance and Professional Indemnity (PI) and Public Liability (PL) insurance. Central Registration Fee EPCs are required to be\u00a0 submitted to the Central Register held by the Scottish Government. The statutory fee is set by the Scottish Government on an annual basis. Site Visit Site visits take approximately 1 hour (longer if a Legionella Risk Assessment is also undertaken). Administration Includes the input and upload of data, calculations and photographic evidence, the production of a floor plan and lodgement onto central register. We charge a set fee of \u00a339.99 for an average sized property (typically 1-5 bedrooms, 2-3 reception rooms)*. \u00a0 *A surcharge may be required for larger properties as they will take longer to assess. Please contact us to discuss and we can confirm the fee before booking. What does the DEA do during the site visit? Exterior or property: Take photographs and site notes for property exterior to evidence property, roof and glazing types. All rooms: Take photographs and site notes for light fittings, radiators, room dimensions and feature e.g. open fires. Bathrooms\/shower rooms : Take photographs and site notes for bathroom fittings and light fittings. Lofts: Take photographs and measurements of insulation type, depth and location and evidence of build type and party wall type. Gas and electricity meters: Take photographs and note types of meters present. How can I prepare for the site visit? To ensure we gather all the correct information as quickly as possible it is handy to be prepared beforehand. Access: Please make sure we have access to all external elevations of your property, all rooms, the loft space, gas and electric meters, boiler and hot water tank. Paperwork: This is really important if you have had wall\/floor or roof insulation as the DEA can only record what they can see during inspection or what can be proved with certificate of completion and invoices etc. It is also useful to have any documentation or manuals for boilers and new technologies e.g. heat pumps or solar panels. The more accurate the information the more accurate the Energy Performance Certificate will be.
