If you decide to use my service I will arrange to visit the property on a date and time that is suitable for you. On average, a domestic property EPC survey will take approx 30 to 40 minutes. I will produce your EPC and email you a link which will take you directly to your certificate on the official EPC register. You will be able to forward the link to your solicitor or agent and you will be able to download or print a copy of the certificate yourself. Your Energy Performance Certificate will be valid for a period of 10 years from the date of issue.

Why You Need an EPC

An Energy Performance Certificate, commonly refered to as an EPC, is a document which is required when a property is to be sold or rented out. If you are renting out or selling a property in or around Newtownabbey you should order your EPC for potential buyers or tenants before you market the property. You cannot legally let or sell a property without a valid Energy Performance Certificate being on the EPC Register.

The Energy Performance Certificate we provide is compliant with regulations for both rental or sale of the property and will be lodged on the official EPC Register. The information on the EPC will help you make your property more energy efficient and allow potential buyers and tenants to compare the energy efficiency of different properties.

Why Your Tenant or Buyer Needs an EPC

Tenants or buyers need to know the energy efficiency of a property before agreeing to a tenancy agreement or purchase. This is more important than ever following the rapid rise in gas and electricity prices. On the 1st April 2022, OFGEM raised the energy price cap by 54% and further price increases are expected.

Landlord Information

All rental properties in Newtownabbey must achieve an energy efficiency rating of at least E on their Energy Performance Certificate. If your property has an F or G Rating you may not be allowed to rent it out. Please call us for advice on how to improve the epc rating. We have been Recognised Suppliers to The National Residential Landlords Association.

Choosing a more energy efficient property will help to safeguard tenants by providing warmer, more desirable home with lower running costs. If tenants are spending less on fuel bills, this could help to reduce the possibility of rent arrears. Finding an energy efficient home could also mean that tenants stay for longer, providing more stable rental income for the landlord.

Why Use Us?

We have been represented in Newtownabbey since 2012 and we have provided thousands of Energy Performance Certificates for both sales and rental properties throughout the area. Our assessor is locally based which also means that no extra travel costs are added to the price of your epc. You will be provided with your EPC at fair price with no extra costs on the day. The price quoted is the price you will pay. You will receive a personal and professional service. We look forward to providing your EPC so please call now to book an appointment.

EPC Prices in Newtownabbey

There are lots of factors which can affect the cost of your epc such as travel time and fuel costs. If the surveyor has to travel a long way to Newtownabbey then it is likely the price you pay will be higher than it will be if you use our Local EPC Service.

Are You Using a Booking Service?

A booking service is a company which advertises energy performance certificates but does not actually provide the EPC themselves. They are usually a call centre or booking service which add their fee to the price you pay before passing the booking out to a local provider at a lower rate. You can avoid these higher prices by calling us directly.

Energy Rating Tips

Here are some tips on how you can improve your energy performance certificate rating. Please read this advice before we attend your property.

1. Try and make sure as many of your fixed light fittings as possible have low energy lamps fitted. This will improve the epc rating.
   
   
2. If you have a hot water tank, make sure there is plenty of insulation around it. Good insulation can make a significant difference to the epc rating and is not an expensive cost.
   
   
3. Loft insulation. If I cannot see the loft is insulated because either I cannot gain loft access to your loft or because the loft is boarded, we have to report loft insulation as 'unknown' which will have a negative effect on the epc rating. Please have any documentation available to prove loft insulation is installed.
   
   
4. Cavity wall insulation will give a positive impact on your epc rating. If you have cavity wall insulation which is not visible due to the property having been rendered after installation this will have a negative effect on the epc rating as we have to assume there is none. Please make sure you have the documentation available if your cavity walls have been insulated.
   
   
5. If your double glazed windows were fitted after 2002 and the date is not visible in the units, please have documentation available to show the installation date. This can have a positive effect on the EPC rating.
   
   
6. Boiler information: I will try to establish the exact make and model of the gas or oil heating boiler. Where this is possible, the exact efficiency of the boiler can be established. This is likely to give a higher epc score than the software default. Establishing the boiler details from visual inspection can be difficult, so please have any information manuals or service history available.
