Yes. Our Edinburgh assessors are accredited to assess traditional and listed buildings, including the Georgian New Town flats in EH2 and EH3, and stone-built Victorian properties common throughout the city. EPCs for listed buildings follow the same process but our assessors note non-standard construction features such as solid stone walls, sash windows, and traditional suspended timber floors — all of which affect the rating and recommendations.

The EPC rating scale (A to G) is the same as England. The difference is regulatory: Scotland operates its own Domestic EPC Register (run through the Energy Saving Trust) and its own private rented sector minimum standards. All our Edinburgh assessors are accredited under Scottish Government requirements. The assessment process is identical — a qualified assessor visits, takes measurements and notes on construction, and lodges the certificate on the Scottish register, usually within 24–48 hours.

Yes. We cover the full EH postcode area including Leith (EH6), Portobello (EH15), Musselburgh (EH21), Dalkeith (EH22), Livingston (EH53/EH54), Linlithgow (EH49), Haddington (EH41), and North Berwick (EH39). Book online for the same fixed price regardless of which EH postcode you're in.
