Super informative -- thanks! Do you know if there is any information anywhere about how underfloor heating can impact and EPC score? We are debating it vs high heat retention storage heaters in an all electric property. Can't seem to find much on the subject.
But what if you went to a home and it had draughts coming through the window frame, or out the plug sockets like an old home? Would an EPC certificate mention that, and other stuff like window gaskets, because it looks like a summer certificate would be massively different from a winter one? Ahhhh, is that why landlords do summer EPCs?
We had a EPC survey done this week he was in and out in 9 minutes, he didn't check all the room's, didn't check the loft, missed out on so many things you listed here, he's rated property as a C, with 150mm of loft insulation, which isn't the case as joists on 100mm and only have 75 mm of loose fill insulation, so wonder what that puts the rating down to, plus we have a gas fire as well as gas central heating on old non condensing boiler, yet he listed as no secondary heating, what should I do
Hi Alan, I'm an energy assessor and I can assure that you can't do a proper EPC in 9 minutes, and if there is access to a loft we are obliged to enter it and measure the insulation as part of the survey, and even if he had an estate agent's floor plan to hand he is still supposed to use his own measurements rather than theirs. As with any profession there are always those few bad eggs, and unfortunately you seem to have got one. I am guessing that because he is rating properties higher than they might actually be, he is not expecting any questioning by those commissioning them. You may simply want to raise your concerns with him directly (almost always the preferable option) and see what he has to say, but failing a result there, If you look on the EPC that he issued you will see all of his details, along with the accreditation scheme that he belongs to (usually Elmhurst or Stroma) and you can call them and tell them your concerns, the auditing teams are necessarily strict and will almost certainly be onto him very quickly, this would force him to either do a re-assessment of your property (which you may not want given his unprofessionalism) or withdraw the EPC.
You need to check on epc register here: www.gov.uk/find-an-energy-assessor if the assessor name appear then you need to check if new EPC is lodged here: www.gov.uk/find-an-energy-assessor If you can see new EPC you can find there assessor's details and report it to his accreditation body (you can find details on the certificate as well). As an assessor I am sure your EPC done in 9 min is incorrect and need to be reported. If you cannot find your new EPC then it can be a fraud and need to be reported to the police even if you haven't paid (if that person took a pictures inside your property).
@@fishfullofdollars6549 we rent, so it's not good as it's a lie and we pay the price in extra heating, he reckons he a good spark's hate to come across his work, if he cuts corner's on something so basic!
That's because it's to have a nosey around peoples homes. Seems strange to me how this is now happening on top of the plandemic. This is the sort of thing that started Hitlers Germany. Next thing concentration camps!.
Thanks for the info. How about the old house with DIY insulatioin for extenal wall, how do you check it? do we need provide any pictures when the DIY insulation process? THANKS
good morning to intellectual property international yre welcome dont ask that waiter ok..ask me im the manager..

David Walliams does EPCs now
Part of the green agenda fact it’s weird so how energy efficient your house is sounds backward
super video
pleas make a video about draw a plan and calculation as well pleas
yes please, I agree. Great video by the way.
Couldn't get into the gas meter box..? I always leave my key at customers houses 😂
How intrusive and a pointless requirement to have .
Can you show us an EPC on a council home that's 100 year old please
4:08 a healthy dose of bum crack lol
Hi great video, what package do you use to log your EPC ? And also where abouts in london is this property based ?
Seeing this I am again so glad I don't live in a city anymore; small houses, expensive, noisy.
Left one a long time ago when the kids came around.
Enjoy relative oblivion!
Thanks for the info. How about the old house with DIY insulatioin for extenal wall, how do you check it? do we need provide any pictures when the DIY insulation process? THANKS
Yes you do
Trying to get rid of boilers gas are we I wonder
I find this very intrusive, and something very dodgy .
Blame the government for this.
What is photography in the house , got to do with energy I find this mighty strange , we keep the photos just auditing err it doesn’t make sense ……
