    Considering that requires drilling into the walls and is more work for the energy assessor (who is already wildly underpaid) do you think people would pay an extra £50 for a proper EPC that did what it should?
    Not at all. I am merely highlighting the shortcomings of the EPC with regards to its practical benefit to you and I.

    Remember; the EPC has not been kept (or introduced for that matter) because the government thinks they are beneficial to the housing market, or promotion of green issues, it is because we are obliged to have them (or similar) in place to satisfy Directive 2002/91/EC (Energy Performance of Buildings) which mandates we have some form of standardised assesment of the country's housing stock.
