Existing Property
Whether you are a landlord, a professional agent, a solicitor or a homeowner you might need an EPC. At Chiltern PSC we can provide you with the right EPC service at the right price.
Landlords and Letting Agents
All new lettings of rental properties are required to provide evidence of the building’s energy performance through an EPC. There is a fine for non-compliance. The certificate allows prospective tenants to form an opinion of the potential energy costs of your property versus others available at the time.
Estate Agents and Solicitors
Domestic properties being sold require an EPC. Whilst an EPC delivers useful information for your client’s prospective purchaser, providing one shouldn’t be an administrative burden to your business.
Homeowner
EPCs have two areas of value to homeowners. Firstly, they are a requirement when selling or renting your home. Secondly, they provide excellent guidance on how to improve the energy efficiency of your home to save money as well as reduce ecological damage.
Who can deliver an EPC?

What does an EPC assessment by Chiltern PSC involve?
A Chiltern PSC energy assessor will visit the property to conduct an energy assessment for an existing building. During the assessment they will collect information and photos on the property, which includes details of its dimensions, construction and heating/hot water systems. This information is fed into an approved software programme which produces the EPC and recommendation report. The assessor will then record the certificate onto the national register and provide the customer with a copy.
The certificate is then ready to be given to the homeowners or made available to prospective buyers or tenants.
