Your Local EPC Assessor in York
I regularly assess properties across York for homeowners, landlords, estate agents and property professionals.
York has a particularly varied mix of housing. I visit everything from Victorian terraces and traditional townhouses to post-war semis, modern apartments, bungalows and recently built family homes.
Because every property is different, I take the time to record its construction, heating, insulation, windows, lighting and other relevant features accurately. Once the visit is complete, I process the information and lodge the certificate on the official government EPC register. I’m accredited by Elmhurst Energy and fully insured to carry out domestic EPC assessments. Elmhurst Assessor ID: EES/030046
EPCs for Homeowners, Landlords and Estate Agents
You may need a valid EPC before selling or letting a property, when an existing certificate expires, or because you want an up-to-date assessment of its energy performance.
I provide EPCs for:
• Homeowners preparing to sell
• Private landlords and portfolio landlords
• Estate and letting agents
• Property investors
• Buyers requesting an updated certificate
• Owners renewing an expired EPC
• Solicitors and property professionals arranging certificates for clients
If a property is occupied by a tenant, I can contact them directly to arrange a suitable appointment and keep you informed once the assessment has been completed.

What Happens During an EPC Assessment?
An EPC appointment normally takes between 30 and 60 minutes, although larger or more complicated properties can take longer. During the visit, I’ll need access to the different parts of the property, including the heating system, utility meters and loft where one is available. I’ll record information about the property’s construction and the features that affect its energy rating.
Helpful evidence can include documents showing:
• Loft or wall insulation
• An extension’s construction date
• Replacement windows
• Solar panel installation
• Heating-system improvements
Don’t worry if you don’t have this information. I’ll explain what access is required and complete the assessment using the evidence available at the property.
