How to Prepare Your Property for an EPC Assessment Visit

Before your EPC assessor arrives, ensure they can access the loft hatch, boiler, hot water cylinder, and electricity meter. Clear any obstructions and have documentation ready for recent improvements such as insulation certificates, FENSA window paperwork, or boiler installation records. Evidence of upgrades helps the assessor record improvements that might otherwise be missed.

Replace any blown bulbs with low-energy alternatives where practical, and make sure heating controls such as room thermostats and TRVs are visible and functional. If you have a conservatory, outhouse, or extension, ensure these areas are accessible too. Accurate data leads to a fair rating that reflects the true condition of your rental property.
