Yes. In most cases an EPC is required when marketing a property for sale.

What is a Heat Loss Survey?

A Heat Loss Survey provides a detailed assessment of how your property performs, helping identify suitable energy efficiency improvements. It is the homeowner-friendly description of a Retrofit Assessment, and may be required as part of certain government-funded improvement programmes.

Can you help with government funding?

Yes. We can explain the assessment process for current schemes, including the Warmer Homes programme and the Boiler Upgrade Scheme (BUS), and advise whether your property may be suitable. Eligibility and funding availability are determined by the relevant scheme criteria.
