SERVICES AVAILABLE

Estate/Letting Agents
Services I can provide to you are:
• I can provide you with EPCs directly, so that you control who represents you to your client.
• I can supply a complete, good quality EPC service, probably for less than you currently pay.
• I can be your backup – I am happy to be on standby for you if you have a problem with your current EPC supplier. It is only sensible to assume that some DEAs will drop out in the coming months.
 
Home Information Pack (HIPs have been suspended and are no longer a legal requirement)
This is the Pack that legally requires and includes: the EPC, evidence of title, an index, standard searches (i.e. local authority enquiries & drainage & water search) and leasehold documentation where appropriate. Properties can be marketed within a day or two of ordering the HIP.

Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)
This is a European Directive and is a legal requirement for the marketing of a property for sale or rental. It is an important tool in the fight against global warming.
The EPC tells you how energy efficient the property is by collecting data which includes the age of the property and any extensions, construction, insulation and relevant appliances. The property will be given a rating on a scale of A-G with the most efficient in band A (like a fridge rating). It will also give recommendations on ways to improve the efficiency, save money and help the environment.
One of our Energy Assessors will assess your property. The survey is non invasive and usually takes between ½-1½ hours. They will be pleased to explain the procedure and answer any queries.

Commercial Energy Performance Certificate (NDEPC)        
All Non Domestic buildings on construction, sale and rent require a Non Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (NDEPC) and a Recommendation Report (RR) This information will help owners and occupiers make their building more energy efficient and allow potential buyers and tenants to compare the energy performance of different buildings.
We can provide certificates for shops, offices and industrial buildings. Our prices start at around £150 for a simple retail or warehouse space and can rise to several thousand pounds for a large office block.

Home Condition Survey (HCS) 
This is a condition survey for purchasers and is backed by insurance to protect the buyer’s interests. The survey also includes a replacement valuation for building insurance purposes. It is a Survey that has been specifically developed to give objective condition ratings, in a simple to understand format and is written in plain English. 
It avoids the criticism of other forms of survey that hide behind jargon and regular recommendations to call in a specialist. The report is prepared in an easily understood format and elements of the main building are given a rating of 1,2,or 3 or NI (Not Inspected).
It gives potential purchasers a transparent and concise appraisal of the property’s condition and is backed up with photographs.
