Professional EPC consultancy product
Desktop EPC Review™ for lenders, investors and landlords
A structured desktop review of an existing EPC, property details and proposed improvements to help you understand likely EPC outcomes before works, finance decisions or reassessment.
If you only need to understand whether a property can reach the minimum E position for lending or Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards purposes, we can model that too. The review can compare minimum E, D and C scenarios depending on what your lender, landlord strategy or transaction requires.
How the review works
Desktop Review → Lender Opinion → Improvements → New EPC
2. Desktop investigation
We review the EPC, property information, assumptions and likely improvement routes.
3. Professional opinion
You receive a clear view of likely EPC outcomes, evidence requirements and whether further measures may be needed.
4. Next steps
If appropriate, we can support the post-installation EPC, EPC C roadmap or cost-benefit analysis.
Step 1
Client questionnaire
The review is only useful if the property information is clear. The booking form collects the details needed to understand the existing EPC and the proposed improvement route.
Property details

- • Property type
- • Number of storeys
- • Approximate floor area, if known
- • EPC certificate number
Existing heating

- • Boiler fuel and approximate age
- • Hot water cylinder details
- • Heating controls
- • Thermostatic radiator valves
Building fabric
- • Wall construction and insulation
- • Loft insulation depth
- • Floor type
- • Window frame and glazing type
- • Number of windows where relevant
Planned improvements
- • New boiler or heat pump
- • Solar panels
- • Internal or external wall insulation

Step 2
Desktop investigation
- Existing EPC review
- EPC Register review
- Google Earth measurements where useful
- Planning history checks where useful
- RdSAP assumption review
- Improvement scenario review
Step 3
Professional opinion
Rather than simply saying yes or no, the review explains the existing EPC, the proposed improvements, likely rating movement, evidence needed and whether EPC E, D or C appears reasonable subject to specification, installation and final EPC assessment.
Final confirmation can only be provided after a new accredited EPC assessment. A desktop review does not guarantee a rating or lender acceptance.

Lender statement wording
A clear one-page summary for finance discussions
Where requested, the lender statement gives a concise professional opinion based on the current EPC, available property information, proposed improvements and desktop review.
Following desktop assessment using the current EPC together with available property information and RdSAP-based review, it is our professional opinion that the proposed improvements may improve the property's energy performance. Subject to the specification outlined within this report and subsequent installation, the property may have a reasonable expectation of achieving the target rating stated. Final confirmation can only be provided following a new accredited EPC assessment.
