EPC Assessments for Sandown Properties
An Energy Performance Certificate provides an energy rating from A to G and includes recommendations for potential improvements to the property's energy efficiency.
Our Domestic Energy Assessors collect information about the property's construction, insulation, windows, heating and hot water systems and lighting.
This information is used to produce the EPC, which is then lodged on the government's official EPC register.
Sandown's Seaside Properties and Energy Performance
Sandown has a distinctive mix of housing, shaped in part by its history as a seaside resort. Victorian and Edwardian terraces sit alongside traditional cottages, nunglaows, larger period properties and more recent residential developments.
Some properties originally built for tourism or as guest accommodation have since been converted or adapted for residential use. This can result in unusual layouts, extensions or combinations of older and newer construction.
Older Sandown properties may have solid walls, older glazing, suspended floors or limited insulation, while bungalows can have their own characteristics around roof insulation, heating and floor construction.
The individual features of a property are therefore particularly important when assessing its energy performance. An EPC considers the home itself rather than simply its age or location.
