What to expect from hiring an EPC assessor in West Glamorgan

1. The assessment: A domestic energy assessor inspects your property’s size, age, insulation, heating systems, lighting and windows.

2. Time: Most EPC surveys take 30–60 minutes for a standard 2–3 bed home.

3. The EPC certificate: You’ll get a report with your energy rating, plus recommendations for improvements.

The cost of an EPC

On average, the cost of an EPC certificate in the UK is £65 - £120.

The price can vary by property size, number of bedrooms, and location (EPC cost in West Glamorgan may be higher or lower than the national average).

Extra costs to consider

• If your home needs upgrades to meet regulations (like landlords needing a minimum E rating), costs could climb.
• Bringing a property up to standard averages around £3,500.

Always make sure your assessor is accredited. You can find one directly through Checkatrade or on the government’s register of domestic energy assessors.
