What does an energy
assessment involve?
An energy assessment involves visiting the property, measuring all rooms and drawing a floor plan. A visual assessment
of the construction and heating system is made (eg. walls, floors, roof, loft insulation, boiler, heating controls
etc). The assessment normally takes 30 to 45 minutes depending on the size and complexity of the property. Larger
properties can take up to 2 hours.
The information obtained is then input into government approved software which then produces the Energy Performance
Certificate and any recommendations. When we are satisfied with the report and recommendations, it is then lodged on
the central register and no further ammendments can be made.
If you have the 24 digit reference number from the top right hand side of the EPC it can viewed and downloaded from the
national register at:
Floor Plan Service
According to Rightmove, properties marketed with a floor plan, generate 30% more interest than properties without one.
Bide&Co can provide floor plans for properties up to 4 bedrooms from as little as £25 when ordered at the same time as
an EPC. Plans can also be provided for larger properties and these are charged depending on the size and complexity
of the property. The plans are suitable for incorporation by an Estate Agent in the sale particulars. See Below
for an example floor plan. If you require a floor plan, please mention this when ordering an EPC.
