I am a fully qualified and accredited Domestic Energy Assessor (DEA). My training was with the Building Research Establishment (BRE).

My accreditation as a DEA is with BRE Certification Ltd and my accreditation number is BREC200166. In addition to my Diploma in Domestic Energy Assessment, I have also achieved a Diploma in Home Inspection. 

I carry out energy assessments of residential property in order to produce Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs). I cover an area of approximately 50 miles radius from Oxford. This includes all of Oxfordshire, and parts of Buckinghamshire, Berkshire, Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. 

An EPC is a required document in the Home Information Pack (HIP) that is needed when you market a property for sale (in England & Wales). I do not provide the full HIP, but only the EPC, and therefore I work for businesses that provide HIPs.

From October 1st 2008, an EPC will be required for all rental properties (in England & Wales). It needs to be available for all new leases entered into after such date. Once an EPC is issued for a rental property it has a life of 10 years before it needs to be replaced.

If you require an EPC for your rental property please contact me. My standard terms are a £70 fee per EPC (no VAT on top), with payment in advance either by cheque or electronic invoice.  If you have a portfolio of rental properties account terms are available.

If you are a HIP Provider interested in using my services please contact me. I am particularly interested in working with Oxfordshire Solicitors who prepare HIPs for their clients as I am keen to establish working relationships that provide a quality local service.
