What Happens During an EPC Assessment in Doncaster?
Many homeowners are surprised by how straightforward the assessment process is.
The assessor will visit the property and gather information relating to its construction, insulation and energy performance.
Items commonly assessed include:
- Property age
- Wall construction
- Roof construction
- Loft insulation
- Heating system
- Hot water system
- Double glazing
- Low energy lighting
- Renewable technologies
- Floor construction where visible
The assessment is visual and non-destructive. No drilling or damage is required.
Most EPC assessments take between 30 and 60 minutes depending on the size of the property.

How Long Does It Take To Receive an EPC?
Once the inspection has been completed, the certificate is normally produced and lodged on the national EPC register shortly afterwards.
Many clients receive their EPC within 24 to 48 hours.

Who Needs an EPC?
Homeowners
If you are selling a property, an EPC will normally be required before marketing can begin.
Many estate agents will ask for confirmation that an EPC has been commissioned before listing a property.
Landlords
Most landlords must have a valid EPC before renting out a property.
Current regulations generally require rental properties to achieve a minimum EPC rating of E unless a valid exemption applies.
Failure to comply may result in enforcement action and financial penalties.

Landlords – EPCs Are Only Part Of Your Legal Responsibilities
Many landlords are aware that they need an EPC before renting out a property.
However, EPC compliance is only one part of a landlord’s legal responsibilities.
Landlords also have a legal duty to assess and control the risk from Legionella bacteria within their rental properties.
Many landlords become aware of this requirement while arranging an EPC, preparing for a new tenancy or reviewing their compliance obligations.
