Just had an EPC done on a property and it has come out as an F!
I was with the person when it was done and had a chat at the end about it and he said it would probably come out as a D. Which was fine as I knew I could do a few bits and pieces to the house if needed to get it higher. I am waiting to speak to the person about it and have left a message. Has anyone else had a similar thing occur and what have you done about it?
If I get another person to do an EPC will it come out any different or likely to still be an F. The score was a 32 so need to get to mid 50s to be a D. I can put in some Low energy light bulbs but how much will this add to the score? All the windows are double glazed, but the report says mostly, so I may be losing a few points there. I know there is a bit of loft insulation to put in which is fine. The boiler is only about 2 years old, but oil so I was not expecting good things from that. If this house is an F I dread to think what our house is! I just need to get to to an E to be able to let it, but appreciate that rules will change to make E unlettable in the future so may as well try and do something now if it is not too much work.
