EPC AGENT / BURNTWOOD
Burntwood’s development has brought together several communities and building periods. For an EPC, the practical task is to understand the particular home or business premises and the work carried out since it was built. EPC Agent can discuss both residential and commercial assessment enquiries.

THE RIGHT CERTIFICATE
Choose the service that matches your property. If you are unsure, tell us how the building is used when you enquire.

Enquire about a residential EPCFor shops, offices, warehouses and other non-domestic premises in Burntwood. We will discuss the building before confirming your quote.
Share the floor area if known, the current use and whether the enquiry covers the whole building or an individual unit.
Enquire about a commercial EPCLichfield District Council’s Design Code describes Chasetown and Chase Terrace as communities that grew with nineteenth-century mining. It also records later suburban development, including semi-detached and terraced housing. Burntwood therefore offers a useful contrast between older fabric and post-war homes rather than a single standard property type.
For an older terrace, explain any rear addition, altered roof or change from its original heating. For a later semi-detached home, evidence of subsequent cavity or loft insulation and replacement windows may be useful. The assessor records the actual property; its neighbourhood history does not establish a particular rating.
If you have bought a home to refurbish before letting, retain details of the installed heating system and insulation as work progresses. Some evidence becomes harder to obtain once walls, floors and roofs are finished. Ask what records are acceptable rather than assuming photographs alone will prove every construction detail.
An EPC can highlight improvements to investigate, but it is not a refurbishment specification. Check building condition, ventilation and the suitability of measures before starting. Improving the appearance of a kitchen or bathroom may add practical value without changing the energy characteristics assessed in the certificate.
For a business in Chasetown or Chase Terrace, describe its current layout and use, not only the original building. A premises that has been subdivided, extended or combined with an adjoining unit may need a different assessment scope from an older certificate. Include approximate floor area and available plans.
Landlords or agents managing several addresses should keep access contacts and certificates separate for each property. Confirm any tenant arrangements before booking and identify the correct unit where postal addresses are similar. For an unoccupied building, let the assessor know about disconnected equipment or restricted access at the enquiry stage.
When selling or letting a property in England, check for an appropriate valid certificate and commission one before marketing if required. Covered private rentals must also meet the current minimum EPC E standard unless a valid exemption applies. A building's age or conservation-area address does not automatically establish an exemption.
Read our landlord EPC guide and what affects the cost of an EPC for the current rules and practical preparation. For business premises, see commercial EPC requirements.

Book an EPC AssessmentLOCAL QUESTIONS
No. Its construction matters, but heating, insulation and later improvements also affect performance. The individual home needs to be assessed.
Keep relevant specifications, invoices and installation records as the work is done. Ask the assessor what is acceptable, especially for insulation that will be covered by finishes.
Explain the current combined layout and services. An older certificate for only one unit should not be assumed to represent the enlarged premises.
Provide each full address, property type, relevant alterations and access contact. Keep the information distinct for each dwelling to avoid using the wrong certificate.
Local character information is informed by the council sources below. Historical appraisals describe the area's development; they do not establish an individual property's construction, energy rating or current planning status.
