Summary of the energy performance related features of this homeThis table sets out the results of the survey which lists the current energy-related features of this home. Each elementis assessed by the national calculation methodology; 1 star = very poor (least efficient), 2 stars = poor, 3 stars =average, 4 stars = good and 5 stars = very good (most efficient). The assessment does not take into consideration thecondition of an element and how well it is working. ‘Assumed’ means that the insulation could not be inspected and anassumption has been made in the methodology, based on age and type of construction.

Lighting Low energy lighting in 73% of fixed outlets

The energy efficiency rating of your homeYour Energy Efficiency Rating is calculated using the standard UK methodology, RdSAP. This calculates energy usedfor heating, hot water, lighting and ventilation and then applies fuel costs to that energy use to give an overall ratingfor your home. The rating is given on a scale of 1 to 100. Other than the cost of fuel for electrical appliances and forcooking, a building with a rating of 100 would cost almost nothing to run.

As we all use our homes in different ways, the energy rating is calculated using standard occupancy assumptionswhich may be different from the way you use it. The rating also uses national weather information to allow comparisonbetween buildings in different parts of Scotland. However, to make information more relevant to your home, localweather data is used to calculate your energy use, CO2 emissions, running costs and the savings possible from makingimprovements.

The impact of your home on the environmentOne of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The energy we use for heating, lighting and powerin our homes produces over a quarter of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions. Different fuels produce different amountsof carbon dioxide for every kilowatt hour (kWh) of energy used. The Environmental Impact Rating of your home iscalculated by applying these 'carbon factors' for the fuels you use to your overall energy use.

The average Scottish household produces about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Based on this assessment,heating and lighting this home currently produces approximately 13 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adoptingrecommendations in this report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. If you were to install all of theserecommendations this could reduce emissions by 6.8 tonnes per year. You could reduce emissions even more byswitching to renewable energy sources.

About the recommended measures to improve your home’s performance ratingThis section offers additional information and advice on the recommended improvement measures for your home

1 Internal or external wall insulationInternal or external wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulation to either the inside or the outside surfaceof the external walls, which reduces heat loss and lowers fuel bills. As it is more expensive than cavity wallinsulation it is only recommended for walls without a cavity, or where for technical reasons a cavity cannot befilled. Internal insulation, known as dry-lining, is where a layer of insulation is fixed to the inside surface ofexternal walls; this type of insulation is best applied when rooms require redecorating. External solid wallinsulation is the application of an insulant and a weather-protective finish to the outside of the wall. This mayimprove the look of the home, particularly where existing brickwork or rendering is poor, and will provide long-lasting weather protection. Further information can be obtained from the National Insulation Association(www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk). It should be noted that planning permission might be required andthat building regulations apply to this work so it is best to check with your local authority whether a buildingwarrant or planning permission will be required.

2 Floor insulationInsulation of a floor will significantly reduce heat loss; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use andlower fuel bills. Suspended floors can often be insulated from below but must have adequate ventilation toprevent dampness; seek advice about this if unsure. Further information about floor insulation and details of localcontractors can be obtained from the National Insulation Association (www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk).Building regulations generally apply to this work so it is best to check this with your local authority buildingstandards department.

3 DraughtproofingFitting draughtproofing, strips of insulation around windows and doors, will improve the comfort in the home. Acontractor can be employed but draughtproofing can be installed by a competent DIY enthusiast.

4 Heating controls (room thermostat)The heating system should have a room thermostat to enable the boiler to switch off when no heat is required. Acompetent heating engineer should be asked to do this work. Insist that the thermostat switches off the boiler aswell as the pump and that the thermostatic radiator valve is removed from any radiator in the same room as thethermostat. Building regulations generally apply to this work and a building warrant may be required, so it is bestto obtain advice from your local authority building standards department and from a qualified heating engineer.

5 Condensing boilerA condensing boiler is capable of much higher efficiencies than other types of boiler, meaning it will burn lessfuel to heat this property. This improvement is most appropriate when the existing central heating boiler needsrepair or replacement, however there may be exceptional circumstances making this impractical. Condensingboilers need a drain for the condensate which limits their location; remember this when considering remodellingthe room containing the existing boiler even if the latter is to be retained for the time being (for example a kitchenmakeover). Building regulations generally apply to this work and a building warrant may be required, so it is bestto obtain advice from your local authority building standards department and from a qualified heating engineer.

6 Double glazingDouble glazing is the term given to a system where two panes of glass are made up into a sealed unit.Replacing existing single-glazed windows with double glazing will improve comfort in the home by reducingdraughts and cold spots near windows. Double-glazed windows may also reduce noise, improve security andcombat problems with condensation. Building regulations apply to this work and planning permission may alsobe required, so it is best to check with your local authority on what standards need to be met. A building warrantis not required if the windows comply with the current requirements.

Low and zero carbon (LZC) energy sources are sources of energy that release either very little or no carbon dioxideinto the atmosphere when they are used. Installing these sources may help reduce energy bills as well as cuttingcarbon.LZC energy sources present: There are none provided for this home


7 Solar photovoltaic (PV) panelsA solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no wasteand no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased froman energy supplier. Planning permission might be required, building regulations generally apply to this work anda building warrant may be required, so it is best to check these with your local authority. The assessment doesnot include the effect of any Feed-in Tariff which could appreciably increase the savings that are shown on thisEPC for solar photovoltaic panels, provided that both the product and the installer are certified by theMicrogeneration Certification Scheme (or equivalent). Details of local MCS installers are available atwww.microgenerationcertification.org.

PART 1 - GENERAL1.1 THE SURVEYORS

The Seller has engaged the Surveyors to provide the Single Survey Report and a generic MortgageValuation Report for Lending Purposes. The Seller has also engaged the Surveyors to provide anEnergy Report in the format prescribed by the accredited Energy Company.

The Surveyors are authorised to provide a transcript or retype of the generic Mortgage ValuationReport on to Lender specific pro-forma. Transcript reports are commonly requested by Brokers andLenders. The transcript report will be in the format required by the Lender but will contain the sameinformation, inspection date and valuation figure as the generic Mortgage Valuation Report and theSingle Survey. The Surveyors will decline any transcript request which requires the provision ofinformation additional to the information in the Report and the generic Mortgage Valuation Report untilthe Seller has conditionally accepted an offer to purchase made in writing.

Once the Seller has conditionally accepted an offer to purchase made in writing, the Purchaser'slender or conveyancer may request that the Surveyors provide general comment on standardappropriate supplementary documentation. In the event of a significant amount of documentationbeing provided to the Surveyors, an additional fee may be incurred by the Purchaser. Any additionalfee will be agreed in writing.

If information is provided to the Surveyors during the conveyancing process which materially affectsthe valuation stated in the Report and generic Mortgage Valuation Report, the Surveyors reserve theright to reconsider the valuation. Where the Surveyors require to amend the valuation in consequenceof such information, they will issue an amended Report and generic Mortgage Valuation Report to theSeller. It is the responsibility of the Seller to ensure that the amended Report and generic MortgageValuation Report are transmitted to every prospective Purchaser.

The individual Surveyor will be a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors who iscompetent to survey, value and report upon Residential Property .

If the Surveyors have had a previous business relationship within the past two years with the Seller orSellers Agent or relative to the property, they will be obliged to indicate this by ticking the adjacent box.

The Surveyors have a written complaints handling procedure. This is available from the offices of theSurveyors at the address stated.

THE REPORTThe Surveyors will not provide an amended Report on the Property, except to correct factualinaccuracies.

The Report will identify the nature and source of information relied upon in its preparation.

The Surveyor shall provide a Market Value of the Property, unless the condition of the Property is suchthat it would be inappropriate to do so. A final decision on whether a loan will be granted rests with theLender who may impose retentions in line with their lending criteria. The date of condition and valueof the property will be the date of inspection.

To date, Purchasers have normally obtained their own report from their chosen Surveyor. By contrast,a Single Survey is instructed by the Seller and made available to all potential Purchasers in theexpectation that the successful Purchaser will have relied upon it. The Royal Institution of CharteredSurveyors rules require disclosure of any potential conflict of interest when acting for the Seller andthe Purchaser in the same transaction. The Single Survey may give rise to a conflict of interest and ifthis is of concern to any party they are advised to seek their own independent advice.

The Report is addressed to the Seller and was prepared in the expectation that it (or a complete copy)along with these Terms and Conditions (or a complete copy) would (or, as the case might be, wouldhave been) be disclosed and delivered to:-

The Surveyors acknowledge that their duty of skill and care in relation to the Report is owed to theSeller and to the Purchaser. The Surveyors accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever in relationto the Report to persons other than the Seller and the Purchaser. The Seller and Purchaser should beaware that if a Lender seeks to rely on this Report they do so at their own risk. In particular, theSurveyors accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever to any Lender in relation to the Report. Anysuch Lender relies upon the Report entirely at their own risk.

GENERIC MORTGAGE VALUATION REPORTThe Surveyors undertake to the Seller that they will prepare a generic Mortgage Valuation Report,which will be issued along with the Single Survey. It is the responsibility of the Seller to ensure thatthe generic Mortgage Valuation Report is provided to every potential Purchaser.

TRANSCRIPT MORTGAGE VALUATION FOR LENDING PURPOSESThe Surveyors undertake that on being asked to do so by a prospective purchaser, or his/herprofessional advisor or Lender, they will prepare a Transcript Mortgage Valuation Report for LendingPurposes on terms and conditions to be agreed between the Surveyors and Lender and solely for theuse of the Lender and upon which the Lender may rely. The decision as to whether finance will beprovided is entirely a matter for the Lender. The Transcript Mortgage Valuation Report will be frominformation contained in the Report and the generic Mortgage Valuation Report.

PART 2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE REPORTTHE SERVICEThe Single Survey is a Report by an independent Surveyor, prepared in an objective way regardingthe condition and value of the Property on the day of the inspection, and who is a member of the RoyalInstitution of Chartered Surveyors. It includes an Energy Report as required by Statute and this is inthe format of the accredited Energy Company. In addition, the Surveyor has agreed to supply ageneric Mortgage Valuation Report.

THE INSPECTIONThe Inspection is a general surface examination of those parts of the Property which are accessible: inother words, visible and readily available for examination from ground and floor levels, without risk ofcausing damage to the Property or injury to the Surveyor.

All references to visual inspection refer to an inspection from within the property at floor level and fromground level within the site and adjoining public areas, without the need to move any obstructions.Any references to left or right are taken facing the front of the property.

The Inspection is carried out with the Seller's permission, without causing damage to the building orcontents. Furniture, stored items and insulation are not moved.

Unless identified in the report the Surveyor will assume that no harmful or hazardous materials havebeen used in the construction. The presence or possible consequences of any site contamination willnot be researched.

The Surveyor will not carry out an asbestos inspection, and will not be acting as an asbestos inspectorin completing a Single Survey of properties that may fall within the Control of Asbestos in theWorkplace Regulations. In the case of flats it will be assumed that there is a duty holder, as defined inthe Regulations and that a Register of Asbestos and effective Management Plan is in place, whichdoes not require any expenditure, or pose a significant risk to health. No enquiry of the duty holder willbe made.

THE REPORTThe Report will be prepared by the Surveyor who carried out the property inspection and will describevarious aspects of the property as defined by the headings of the Single Survey report with thecomments being general and unbiased. The report on the location, style and condition of the property,will be concise and will be restricted to matters that could have a material effect upon value and willomit items that, in the Surveyor's opinion, are not significant. If certain minor matters are mentioned, itshould not be interpreted that the property is free of any other minor defects.

Throughout the report, the following repair categories will be used to give an overall opinion of thestate of repair and condition of the property.

WARNING:If left unattended, even for a relatively short period, Category 2 repairs can rapidly develop into moreserious Category 3 repairs. The existence of Category 2 or Category 3 repairs may have an adverseeffect on marketability, value and the sale price ultimately achieved for the property. This isparticularly true during slow market conditions when the effect can be considerable.

Parts of the property, which cannot be seen or accessed, will not be reported upon and this will bestated. If the Surveyor suspects that a defect may exist within an unexposed area and which couldhave a material effect upon the value, he may recommend further investigation by specialistcontractors.

SERVICESSurveyors are not equipped or qualified to test the services and therefore no comment can beinterpreted as implying that the design, installation and function of the services are inaccordance/compliance with regulations, safety and efficiency expectations. However, comment ismade where there is cause to suspect significant defects or shortcomings with the installations. Notests are made of any services or appliances.

ENERGY REPORTA section is included that makes provision for an Energy Report, relative to the property. TheSurveyor will collect physical data from the property and provide such data in a format required by anaccredited Energy Company. The Surveyor cannot of course accept liability for any advice given bythe Energy Company.

VALUATION AND CONVEYANCER ISSUESThe last section of the Report contains matters considered relevant to the Conveyancer (Solicitor). Italso contains the Surveyor's opinion both of the market value of the property and of the re-instatementcost, as defined below.

"Market Value" is the estimated amount for which a property should exchange on the date of valuationbetween a willing buyer and a willing seller in an arm's-length transaction after proper marketingwherein the parties had each acted knowledgeably, prudently and without compulsion. In arriving atthe opinion of the Market Value, the Surveyor also makes various standard assumptions covering, forexample, vacant possession; tenure and other legal considerations; contamination and hazardousmaterials; the condition of un-inspected parts; the right to use mains services; and the exclusion ofcurtains, carpets etc. from the valuation. In the case of flats, the following further assumptions aremade that:

We have been informed that the side extension and garage were erected circa 2000. It is assumed that allalterations, additions and extensions to the property have received all necessary town planning and buildingauthority approval (Building Warrants) and that appropriate Completion Certificates or documentation areavailable.

We understand the drive is jointly owned. We have been informed that the drive was originally going to be usedas access to the adjacent property when it was built however they made an entry off Woodlands Road. It isassumed there is a relevant Right of Access and a shared maintenance liability. This should be confirmed.

Where defects or repairs have been identified within this report it is recommended that, prior to entering ino anylegally binding sale or purchase contract, further specialists or contractors advice and estimates should beobtained, to establish the implications, if any, on a potential offer to purchase or the sale price likely to beachieved for the property.

For Reinstatement Cost Assessment purposes it is recommended that the subjects be insured for a sum of notless than £485,000.

This figure is the estimate of the cost of rebuilding the premises and bears no direct relationship to current marketvalue.

Having considered matters, taking account of our general observations on site, we are of the opinion that thecurrent market value of the subjects in their present condition and with the benefit of full vacant possession maybe fairly stated in the capital sum of THREE HUNDRED THOUSAND POUNDS (£300,000).
