When you search for an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provider, you’ll likely see a massive range of prices. You might be tempted by the £49 or £55 offer from a large, national broker, but in the world of property compliance, the cheapest option is rarely the best—and can often lead to costly delays and inaccurate results.

At SalfordEPC.uk, we offer a straightforward, fixed-price domestic EPC at £65 (including VAT). This price is a promise: it guarantees local, qualified expertise, guaranteed turnaround, and a level of personal service that a large, impersonal broker simply cannot match.

Here is why choosing a local, professional assessor over the cheapest national deal is the smartest move for your property in Manchester or London.

Accuracy vs. Speed | The Pitfall of the "Quickest" EPC

National comparison sites or mega-brokers often push for the lowest price, which forces assessors to prioritize speed over quality. This rush can lead to:

1. Inaccurate Ratings | Small but critical details (like loft insulation depth, wall construction, or heating system specifics) can be missed or incorrectly estimated, resulting in a wrong EPC rating.
2. Devaluation Risk | An inaccurately low rating (e.g., a 'D' instead of a potential 'C') can negatively impact your property's market value or prevent you from meeting minimum rental standards (MEES).
3. Compliance Headaches | If your certificate is inaccurate, it could be challenged, leading to delays in your sale or tenancy agreement.

Our fixed £65 price allows our local, qualified assessors the necessary time to conduct a thorough, accurate assessment, ensuring your certificate is robust and reflective of your property's true energy performance.

The Crucial Difference | Direct Contact and Local Accountability

When you book with a massive national broker, you rarely speak to the person who will actually be visiting your property. This adds friction and delay.

1. Broker Model | You deal with a call centre, who then sub-contract the work to a distant assessor you've never met. If there’s an issue, you go back through the call centre.
2. SalfordEPC.uk Model (Local Expert) | You book directly with a locally operating expert who is accountable for the work. You can speak to your assessor directly before and after the survey to discuss any complexities, such as unusual extensions or heating systems.

Our team operates right here in Greater Manchester and now in London, meaning we understand the local property types, planning regulations, and common compliance issues specific to your area.

Guaranteed Turnaround | Reliable Service, Not Just a Promise

When you're dealing with a property sale or a new tenancy, deadlines are everything. We understand that.

We guarantee a 48-hour turnaround on your Domestic EPC from the time of inspection. While a large broker might promise a fast delivery, this often depends on the availability of a third-party contractor who may be travelling a significant distance. With our local network, we ensure reliability and punctuality.

Compliance Made Simple (Beyond the EPC)

Our value extends past just the EPC. Because we are a dedicated property compliance firm, you can bundle your needs:

1. Need a Legionella Risk Assessment for your rental portfolio?
2. Need a Commercial EPC to meet the 2027 'C' target?

We can handle all these critical assessments in one go, simplifying your administration and guaranteeing a consistent level of quality across all your legal duties.

Don't compromise your compliance for the sake of £10 or £20. Choose the reliability, local expertise, and peace of mind that comes with a professional service.
