Energy
Assessment Surveys
Energy assessors are responsible for carrying out assessments
and producing Energy Performance Certificates, Display Energy
Certificates and Air Conditioning Reports. Energy assessors
must be members of an accreditation scheme and have the appropriate
qualifications or competence for the type of work they carry
out..
All accreditation schemes hold lists of their accredited energy
assessors and should be able to provide contact details of assessors
available to work in your area. Domestic Energy Assessors
(DEAs) and On-Construction Domestic Energy Assessors (OCDEAs)
can also be found by searching the database of accredited domestic
energy assessors.
It is also likely that estate agencies, energy suppliers and
other large companies will advertise if they are able to provide
assessments. It is important to keep in mind that different
schemes provide different types of assessor.
What does an assessment for an EPC involve?
An accredited energy assessor needs to visit a property to conduct
an energy assessment for an existing building. During the assessment
they collect information on the property, which includes details
of its dimensions, construction and heating/hot water provision.
The time taken to perform an energy assessment will vary according
to the size and nature of the property. Because of the wide
variation of commercial buildings, any form of 'average time'
would not be meaningful.
This information is fed into the approved software programme
which produces the EPC and recommendation report. The energy
assessor will then record the certificate onto a national register
via his or her accreditation scheme and provide the seller,
or prospective landlord with a copy. The certificate is then
ready to be given to new building owners or made available to
prospective buyers or tenants.

Energy
Performance Certificates
Improving the energy performance of buildings
Did you know that buildings produce nearly half of the UK’s
carbon emissions? That’s almost twice that of cars and
planes. The way a building is constructed, insulated, heated,
ventilated and the type of fuel used, all contribute to its
carbon emissions. Improving energy efficiency
Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are being introduced to
help improve the energy efficiency of buildings.
If you are buying or selling a home you now need a certificate
by law. From October 2008 EPCs will be required whenever a building
is built, sold or rented out. The certificate provides 'A' to
'G' ratings for the building, with 'A' being the most energy
efficient and 'G' being the least, with the average up to now
being 'D'.
Accredited energy assessors produce EPCs alongside an associated
report which suggests improvements to make a building more energy
efficient.
Home Condition Survey
- Hampshire, Dorset
and Wiltshire
The Home Condition Survey (HCS) is a survey
and report designed specifically for the home buyer. It has
standard terms of engagement and a standard format. Unlike the
HCR it will not be lodged on the entral register. It does
not include an EPC so this can be offered as an additional service.
·
A Home Condition Survey is a comprehensive report looking at
the issues that will affect your decision to purchase, or the
price you might pay.
Which? And the Council of Mortgage Lenders both recommend home
buyers commissions an independent survey. Although your lender
may require you to pay for a Valuation Report, it answers only
the lender's questions about the appropriate security for your
loan. You cannot rely on it to provide a detailed report on
the condition of the property.
Identification of major problems early in the purchase process.
Simple 1/2/3 condition rating of key property elements.
3-4 hour survey investigates structural movement, dampness,
rot, woodworm, building condition, subsidence, services, environmental
and health & safety issues, and other important details
of property condition.
A detailed report with photographs which give you a jargon-free
assessment of the condition of the property. Insurance backed
and produced & monitored under a nationally recognised accreditation
scheme.
