Services We Offer
We offer a number of property services and our main client base includes sales and letting agents, solicitors, landlords, and the public.
Energy Performance Certificates
A valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement when selling or letting a property on the open market in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. The certificate must be commissioned by a qualified assessor and contain up-to-date information about the energy performance of the property. The certificate is valid for 10 years. New builds need an EPC to sign off from building control. (An EPC on a New Build is referred to as an SAP). Existing buildings only ever need an EPC when either sold or let. Occasionally if they have had energy improvements e.g., a new boiler or upgraded insulation, the installer may carry out a new one, especially if the work has been grant-funded.
For landlords and sellers, a higher EPC rating can enhance the attractiveness of the property, potentially leading to quicker sales or rentals and possibly higher property values. As environmental awareness increases and energy prices continue to rise, the significance of having a current and favourable EPC is likely to grow even further.
We Also Offer
Photographic Inventory and Condition Reports for Landlord and Letting Agents.
These are imperative for rental properties as they provide a visually accurate report of the property’s condition prior to new tenants moving in. By having this report prepared at the start of the tenancy reduces the chance of disagreement and arbitration at the end of the tenancy.
Floor Plans for Estate and Letting Agents
We offer a professional floor plan service that we believe enhances the marketing material and advertisements for residential Sales and Lettings.
