North Wales Domestic Energy Assessor
As you will be aware, it is a requirement of the Housing Act 2004 that, prior to placing a home on the market for sale or rental,
the person responsible for its marketing must make available to potential buyers / tenants an Energy Performance Certificate.
This Certificate is produced following an inspection by a qualified Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA), who is registered with a Government approved scheme.
Only an accredited DEA is authorised to produce EPCs. All accredited DEAs should be qualified, insured & CRB checked.
What can you expect from Celtic DEA?
Upon instruction we will arrange a suitable appointment with you for our assessor to inspect your property.
An inspection will normally take between 45 and 60 minutes and during this time we will take notes on features such as the age and construction type of the property, age and type of windows, type of heating and hot water system along with wall and roof insulation. We will also take measurements and photographs.
Following the inspection the DEA will produce the EPC for your property, lodge it on the Government's national database and send a copy to you / the Estate Agent / Letting Agent / Solicitor.
Guidance notes for occupiers
This document provides information and advice relating to the Assessor's inspection requirements.
Key points at a glance:
- Most properties require between half an hour and an hour for the inspection. Large, complex properties are likely to take longer.
- Please ensure that pets and other animals are secured in order to allow a full and safe inspection to take place.
- If the property is occupied, the inspector is not permitted to enter the property unless a supervising adult of at least 16 years of age is present.
- Please ensure that children are well supervised during the inspection as some tasks are potentially hazardous (e.g. the opening of access traps).
- Sealed traps are not opened but a more conclusive assessment may be issued if you can have these unsecured in readiness for the inspection.
- Furniture, personal effects, and fitted floor coverings are not moved.
- Inspection of any boilers, hot water cylinders or other heating appliances is extremely important; please ensure they are accessible if at all possible.
Thank you very much for your co-operation.
