An EPC – ENERGY PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATE Survey involves inspection and measuring of numerous features of the building. At no point is the property drilled in to or modified. If the property has a loft, we will require access to do, as a minimum, a head and shoulders inspection to ascertain construction type and insulation properties. We always bring our own telescopic ladder with us. We will require access to the gas and electricity meters. A visual inspection of the heating system, lighting, windows and doors. We will take measurements of the internal floor space and take photographs of various aspects of the property. No photos will appear on the EPC
