Great idea, thank youMaryNB said:I wouldn't rely on the EPC. It's at best a very rough guide on anything it covers. I've seen some nonsense on EPCs where I previously lived.
The only way to be sure of the square footage is to get bring a tape measure (or my preference is a laser distance measurer) to a second viewing.

The EPC will be an unreliable source for either of these. Rely on your survey (by a properly trained surveyor!) or use a tape measure....PlumLuck said:
Ordinarily I really wouldn't care about it, but the property has had a large extension since one was last issues so I'm mainly just curious as to how it might have changed - and what the new square footage is!canaldumidi said:???? More like £40 - £50.But they are pretty pointless in terms of what you learn from them and how reliable they are so......

The EPC for my bungalow didn't appear until months later, pre exchange. The seller hadn't had a floor plan done, I decided to do that when I moved in.£216 saved 24 October 20140
