Belfast EPC certificates — online booking with accredited Domestic Energy Assessors
EPC assessments in Belfast are commonly required for residential houses, flats, and rental properties prior to sale or letting. Older properties, particularly terraced homes and converted buildings, often achieve lower EPC ratings due to solid walls, older heating systems, or limited insulation.Our EPC assessors carry out a non-intrusive inspection of the property, reviewing elements such as heating, insulation, glazing, and overall energy efficiency. Once completed, the EPC is lodged on the official register and emailed to you for use with estate agents, letting agents, or prospective buyers and tenants.
Move-Nest operates nationwide, but EPCs in Belfast are always completed by locally based, accredited assessors. This ensures realistic assessments, faster appointment availability, and compliance with local property expectations.
