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.
