What happens during the EPC Survey?

A qualified and accredited Domestic Energy Assessor will visit the property to undertake the Energy Performance Certificate survey.

The Assessor will need access to all rooms in order to accurately measure the property and examine the critical items of the property such as the heating/cooling systems, levels of insulation, the type and material of the window, lighting, etc. Once the survey is finished, the data is uploaded into a software program which then calculates both the current level of energy efficiency.

How long does the EPC Survey take?

The Assessor will take approximately 30 minutes to carryout the survey. Larger family homes can take up to an hour to complete.

The main determining factor is the size of the property but the layout of the property is also a factor. Commercial, or Non-Domestic surveys can take considerably longer with some large commercial buildings taking a full day or even longer. Please note: Time does NOT affect your EPC Certificate cost.

Reducing your energy bills can be critical. Fuel bills are rising, and we need to save money and help to save the environment. Avoiding carbon emissions is a challenge for every property. A lot of older buildings weren’t built with energy performance in mind. This is where Surveying People can help. We can provide energy reports that will offer guidance and insight to your frequently asked questions.

An EPC certificate will give buyers or tenants a detailed assessment of the current rating of the property. It will also list recommendations and guidelines about how to improve energy efficiency in the future. This means that together we can start to build a more energy efficient environment. Alongside a gas safety certificate and a ECIR, this will ensure that your property is safe and that it appears on the gov.uk EPC Register.

As an EPC is a survey that ranks your property on a scale of A to G – there is no pass or fail.However, if you are renting out your home, the law requires the EPC to show a minimum rating of E for all new tenancies and – as from April 2020 – all existing tenancies.

This means you will need to request access to the property for the EPC to be carried out.There are no restrictions on selling your property. However, you will need a valid EPC in order to put your property up for sale on the open market.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC's) were introduced in 2007 and are a legal requirement for a building to be sold, let or constructed. Once obtained, an EPC is valid for 10 years.Taking an E rated property to the minimum C required can cost thousands of pounds and take some time, so it may be worth starting work well before the 2025 deadline.

Plus, if you’re looking to invest in a new property, you might want to roll energy efficiency improvements into any renovation costs.Upgrading your property could also help if you’re planning to sell in the next few years – recent research from Rightmove shows that properties that take their energy rating from a D, E or F rating to a Care currently fetching up to 16% more than similar properties that are less energy efficient.So, that initial outlay could result in a better return on investment when you do come to sell.

A really thorough and understandable survey report which included a drone survey of the roof. Then a follow-up phone call to discuss the findings and answers to my questions. Highly recommended.

I want to thank Ross for an excellent Level-3 survey. The report was detailed, yet very easy to read and follow. The work was far superior to a larger company I used in late 2025 in Hammersmith and Fulham, despite the fees being lower. They even released the report before my payment had fully cleared!

During the post-survey call, Ross patiently explained all the key findings and offered constructive suggestions; it’s clear he truly cares about his clients. He even encouraged us to contact him with any further questions. Based on his findings, we have decided to withdraw our offer.

The only minor hiccup was a delay with the follow-up call. I was given a three-hour window, but the call took place after three and a half hours. Having taken a half-day off work, the wait was a bit frustrating. However, Ross apologised sincerely once we connected, explaining that previous meetings had overrun. My only suggestion would be to narrow the time window (to one hour, for example) or send a quick message if there is a significant delay. Despite this, I’m still giving Surveying People and Ross five stars and will use Ross again in the near future.
The surveyor produced a very thorough and well presented RICS Level 2 report. The survey also included a drone survey which was greatly beneficial for highlighting issues with the roof of the property I enquired on. I would not hesitate to use surveying people again for any future survey!

the survey was arranged and carried out promptly, with a good report provided. However, the report arrived past the deadline they stipulated and they never showed up to the arranged debrief call and stopped responding to my emails requesting a call be organized.

I used Surveying People for a RICS L3 survey and have no complaints. Easy to use, clear and prompt. Surveyed the property and returned the report on time. The report was easy to read and accessible and the follow up call to run through the report was useful.

As a first-time home buyer, I was nervous about the survey process, but the team at Surveying People made it so easy. Their quick response time and patience in walking me through the report were very helpful. The report itself was thorough and detailed, and they offered great advice. I would highly recommend them for their professional and supportive service. Thank you Alam, Ross and Shazmeena for always being super responsive. It was a pleasure to work with you.

Very satisfied with the survey that Ross did. An extremely detailed report that allowed us to have a much better understanding of the state of the house. He also found something concerning for which he recommended having a specialist damp survey before we sign or commit to anything. With his recommendation, he saved us a huge headache and a large sum of money. Extremely pleased with Ross's job, and I would absolutely use his services again
