What is an EPC, and why do I need one?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates your property’s energy efficiency. It’s legally required for renting or selling a property and helps prospective buyers or tenants understand potential energy costs.
How long does an EPC assessment take?
EPC assessments typically take 30–60 minutes, depending on the property’s size.
How long does it take to receive my EPC after the inspection?
Typically, you will receive your EPC within 24 to 48 hours after the inspection is completed.
Are your floor plans legally compliant?
Yes, all our floor plans are RICS certified and fully compliant with UK regulations. We also offer HMO and lease plans to meet specific legal requirements.
What is included in the floor plan service?
Our floor plan service provides accurate, RICS-certified layouts that help buyers or tenants understand the property’s layout. HMO and lease plans are also available.
What’s included in your photography package?
Our photography package includes high-resolution interior and exterior shots that highlight your property’s best features, optimised for property listings and marketing. We include 12 photos as standard. We ensure lighting, angles, and compositions are carefully tailored to make your property stand out.
Are 12 photos enough for my property?
Twelve photos are typically sufficient to showcase a property’s main features. However, for larger properties or those with more unique areas to highlight, you may want to consider adding extra photos, contact us for a quote.
Do I need to declutter the property before the photo shoot?
Yes, decluttering the property is highly recommended for the best results. A clean and tidy space allows us to capture your property in the best light and makes it more appealing to potential buyers or tenants. We advise removing personal items, excessive furniture, and anything that could distract from the property’s features.

How can I improve my property’s EPC rating?
After an EPC assessment, you’ll receive specific recommendations. We also offer a free PDF guide with general tips on enhancing energy efficiency.
What are the prices for your services?
Our pricing varies based on the specific service and size of the property. Please contact us for a tailored quote.
Do you offer discounts for bulk orders?
