Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)

Your EPC: More Than Just a Legal Requirement

At Verde Surveying, we view the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) as the single most important document for your home's energy future—not just a piece of paper for a sale.

Why is a Correct EPC Essential?

1. It’s the Law for Selling or Renting: Simply put, you cannot legally market a property for sale or rent in the UK without a valid EPC. It’s a non-negotiable part of the property transaction process.

2. Unlock Energy Grants and Funding: Many government and energy company grants designed to make homes warmer and cheaper to run rely on your current EPC rating. An incorrect certificate, especially one with too many assumptions, can make your home look more efficient than it really is, stopping you from qualifying for thousands of pounds in crucial retrofit funding.

3. Ensure Fair Energy Bills and Tariffs: Energy companies often check your home's EPC rating online when determining eligibility for discounted tariffs or energy-saving schemes. If your home has had energy upgrades (like insulation or a new boiler) but you haven't obtained an updated EPC to prove it, you could still be seen as an 'energy guzzler' and be paying a higher premium price unnecessarily. An accurate EPC ensures you are rewarded for the improvements you’ve made.

Our Promise at Verde Surveying

We are dedicated to ensuring your EPC accurately reflects your home's true performance.

Post-Works EPC Discount: If you use Verde Surveying for your initial EPC or Retrofit Assessment, and you subsequently install energy-saving measures (like insulation or a heat pump), we promise to provide the vital Post-Works EPC to officially document your improved rating at a 30% discount. This ensures your investment is officially registered, allowing you to access all the benefits you've earned.

Transparent Pricing: What You Pay For

We believe in open and direct pricing. With Verde Surveying, there are no hidden fees. Our prices are all-inclusive and cover the surveyor’s visit, travel costs, and the government lodgement fee.

Our clear pricing structure is based on the size of the property, as larger homes require more time and detail to survey accurately.

You know what you're paying for before we even arrive. Choose Verde Surveying for an honest, accurate, and valuable service.
