SAP Assessments
All new build domestic properties require an Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) and Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) in order to ensure compliance with current building regulations.
With the current push towards energy efficiency and green technology, these assessments are becoming more important than ever, providing more energy efficient homes and unlocking access to preferential mortgage rates.
A SAP (Standard Assessment Procedure) assessment is crucial for a new build property to ensure it meets the required energy efficiency and environmental standards. This evaluation, mandated by building regulations, measures the predicted energy performance of the property, including its heating, cooling, lighting, and hot water systems. Conducting a SAP assessment helps identify potential areas for improvement in the building's design and construction, ensuring optimal energy use and reducing carbon emissions.
It also provides a clear indication of the property's Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating, which is essential for future homeowners or tenants. By conducting a thorough SAP assessment, developers and self-builders alike, can guarantee that the new build is both environmentally sustainable and economically efficient, ultimately enhancing the property's marketability and long-term value.
