The Report is split into three parts:
A Survey of the property. The Survey document contains an assessment of the condition of the property, an accessibility audit report and a valuation undertaken by a surveyor.
An Energy Report (Energy Performance Certificate, EPC) this is an assessment of the energy efficiency of the property, and its impact and lists possible ways to improve the energy efficiency of the property.
A Property Questionnaire. This is provided by the seller of the home and contains additional information about the property, eg. Council Tax charges and other costs that will be useful to the new home owner.
