 Terms and Conditions

PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 THE SURVEYORS
The Seller has engaged the Surveyors to provide the Single Survey Report and a generic Mortgage
Valuation Report for Lending Purposes. The Seller has also engaged the Surveyors to provide an Energy
Report in the format prescribed by the accredited Energy Company.

The Surveyors are authorised to provide a transcript or retype of the generic Mortgage Valuation Report
on to Lender specific pro-forma. Transcript reports are commonly requested by Brokers and Lenders. The
transcript report will be in the format required by the Lender but will contain the same information,
inspection date and valuation figure as the generic Mortgage Valuation Report and the Single Survey. The
Surveyors will decline any transcript request which requires the provision of information additional to the
information in the Report and the generic Mortgage Valuation Report until the 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's lender or
conveyancer may request that the Surveyors provide general comment on standard appropriate
supplementary documentation. In the event of a significant amount of documentation being provided to the
Surveyors, an additional fee may be incurred by the Purchaser. Any additional fee will be agreed in
writing.

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

The individual Surveyor will be a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors who is
competent to survey, value and report upon Residential Property1.

If the Surveyors have had a previous business relationship within the past two years with the Seller or X
Seller's Agent or relative to the property, they will be obliged to indicate this by marking the adjacent
box.
The Surveyors have a written complaints handling procedure. This is available from the offices of the
Surveyors at the address stated.
1.2 THE REPORT
The Surveyors will not provide an amended Report on the Property, except to correct factual inaccuracies.

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 such
that it would be inappropriate to do so. A final decision on whether a loan will be granted rests with the
Lender who may impose retentions in line with their lending criteria. The date of condition and value of the
property will be the date of inspection.

Prior to 1 December 2008, 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 expectation that the successful Purchaser will have relied upon it. The Royal Institution of
Chartered Surveyors rules require disclosure of any potential conflict of interest when acting for the Seller
and the Purchaser in the same transaction. The Single Survey may give rise to a conflict of interest and if
this is of concern to any party they are advised to seek their own independent advice.
The Report and any expressions or assessments in it are not intended as advice to the Seller or Purchaser or
any other person in relation to an asking price or any other sales or marketing decisions.

1 Which shall be in accordance with the current RICS Valuation Standards (The Red Book) and RICS Rules of Conduct.

132 Boyd Street, Glasgow, G42 8TP

 Terms and Conditions

The Report is based solely on the Property and is not to be relied upon in any manner whatsoever when
considering the valuation or condition of any other property.

If certain minor matters are mentioned in the Report it should not be assumed that the Property is free of
other minor defects.

Neither the whole nor any part of the Report may be published in any way, reproduced or distributed by
any party other than the Seller, prospective purchasers and the Purchaser and their respective
professional advisers without the prior written consent of the Surveyors.
1.3 LIABILITY
The Report is prepared with the skill and care reasonably to be expected of a competent residential
surveyor who is a member of the Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors.

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, would have
been) be disclosed and delivered to:

the Seller;

any person(s) noting an interest in purchasing the Property from the Seller;

any person(s) who make(s) (or on whose behalf is made) an offer to purchase the Property, whether
or not that offer is accepted by the Seller;

the Purchaser; and

the professional advisers of any of these.

The Surveyors acknowledge that their duty of skill and care in relation to the Report is owed to the Seller
and to the Purchaser. The Surveyors accept no responsibility or liability whatsoever in relation to the
Report to persons other than the Seller and the Purchaser. The Seller and Purchaser should be aware
that if a Lender seeks to rely on this Report they do so at their own risk. In particular, the Surveyors accept
no responsibility or liability whatsoever to any Lender in relation to the Report. Any such Lender relies
upon the Report entirely at their own risk.
1.4 GENERIC MORTGAGE VALUATION REPORT
The 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 that the generic
Mortgage Valuation Report is provided to every potential Purchaser.
1.5 TRANSCRIPT MORTGAGE VALUATION FOR LENDING PURPOSES
The Surveyors undertake that on being asked to do so by a prospective purchaser, or his/her professional
advisor or Lender, they will prepare a Transcript Mortgage Valuation Report for Lending Purposes on
terms and conditions to be agreed between the Surveyors and Lender and solely for the use of the Lender
and upon which the Lender may rely. The decision as to whether finance will be provided is entirely a
matter for the Lender. The Transcript Mortgage Valuation Report will be prepared from information
contained in the Report and the generic Mortgage Valuation Report2.
1.6 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
All intellectual property rights whatsoever (including copyright) in and to the Report, excluding the headings
and rubrics, are the exclusive property of the Surveyors and shall remain their exclusive property unless

132 Boyd Street, Glasgow, G42 8TP

06/02/2023 Page 2 of 6
 Terms and Conditions
they assign the same to any other party in writing.
1.7 PAYMENT
The Surveyors are entitled to refrain from delivering the Report to anyone until the fee and other charges
for it notified to the Seller have been paid. Additional fees will be charged for subsequent inspections and
Reports.
1.8 CANCELLATION
The Seller will be entitled to cancel the inspection by notifying the Surveyor's office at any time before the
day of the inspection.

The Surveyor will be entitled not to proceed with the inspection (and will so report promptly to the Seller) if
after arriving at the property, the Surveyor concludes that it is of a type of construction of which the
Surveyor has insufficient specialist knowledge to be able to provide the inspection satisfactorily. The
Surveyor will also be entitled not to proceed if after arriving at the property, the surveyor concludes that
the property is exempt under Part 3 of The Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 as detailed in the (Prescribed
Documents) Regulations 2008. If there is a potential threat to their health or personal safety, the
inspection may be postponed or cancelled, at the Surveyor's discretion.

In the case of cancellation or the inspection not proceeding, the Surveyor will refund any fees paid by the
Seller for the inspection and Report, except for expenses reasonably incurred and any fee due in light of
the final paragraph of this section.

In the case of cancellation by the Seller, for whatever reason, after the inspection has taken place but
before a written report is issued, the Surveyor will be entitled to raise an invoice equivalent to 80% of the
agreed fee.

collected by the Surveyor during the Inspection, and also includes an Energy Performance Certificate,
in a Government approved format.

PART 2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE REPORT

2.1 THE SERVICE
The Single Survey is a Report by an independent Surveyor, prepared in an objective way regarding the
condition and value of the Property on the day of the inspection, and who is a member of the Royal
Institution of Chartered Surveyors. It includes an Energy Report as required by Statute and this is in the
format of the accredited Energy Company. In addition, the Surveyor has agreed to supply a generic
Mortgage Valuation Report.
2.2 THE INSPECTION
The Inspection is a general surface examination of those parts of the Property which are accessible: in
other words, visible and readily available for examination from ground and floor levels, without risk of
causing 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 from
ground 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 or
contents. Furniture, stored items and insulation are not moved.

Unless identified in the report the Surveyor will assume that no harmful or hazardous materials have been
used in the construction. The presence or possible consequences of any site contamination will not be
researched.
The Surveyor will not carry out an asbestos inspection, and will not be acting as an asbestos inspector in
completing a Single Survey of properties that may fall within the Control of Asbestos in the Workplace
Regulations. In the case of flats it will be assumed that there is a duty holder, as defined in the
Regulations and that a Register of Asbestos and effective Management Plan is in place, which does not
require any expenditure, or pose a significant risk to health. No enquiry of the duty holder will be made.

2.3 THE REPORT

The Report will be prepared by the Surveyor who carried out the property inspection and will describe
various aspects of the property as defined by the headings of the Single Survey report with the comments

132 Boyd Street, Glasgow, G42 8TP

06/02/2023 Page 4 of 6
 Terms and Conditions
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 will omit items that, in the
Surveyor's opinion, are not significant. If certain minor matters are mentioned, it should 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 the state
of repair and condition of the property.

1 Category 3: Urgent repairs or replacement are needed now. Failure to deal with them may cause
problems to other parts of the property or cause a safety hazard. Estimates for repairs or replacement
are needed now.

2 Category 2: Repairs or replacement requiring future attention, but estimates are still advised.

3 Category 1: No immediate action or repair is needed.

WARNING: If left unattended, even for a relatively short period, Category 2 repairs can rapidly develop into
more serious Category 3 repairs. The existence of Category 2 or Category 3 repairs may have an adverse
effect on marketability, value and the sale price ultimately achieved for the property. This is particularly
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 be stated.
If the Surveyor suspects that a defect may exist within an unexposed area and which could have a
material effect upon the value, he may recommend further investigation by specialist contractors.
2.4 SERVICES
Surveyors are not equipped or qualified to test the services and therefore no comment can be interpreted
as implying that the design, installation and function of the services are in accordance/compliance with
regulations, safety and efficiency expectations. However, comment is made where there is cause to
suspect significant defects or shortcomings with the installations. No tests are made of any services or
appliances.
2.5 ACCESSIBILITY
A section is included to help identify the basic information interested parties need to know to decide
whether to view a property.
2.6 ENERGY REPORT
A section is included that makes provision for an Energy Report, relative to the property. The Surveyor will
collect physical data from the property and provide such data in a format required by an accredited Energy
Company. The Surveyor cannot of course accept liability for any advice given by the Energy Company.
2.7 VALUATION AND CONVEYANCER ISSUES
The last section of the Report contains matters considered relevant to the Conveyancer (Solicitor). It also
contains the Surveyor's opinion both of the market value of the property and of the re-instatement cost, as
defined below.

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

There are rights of access and exit over all communal roadways, corridors, stairways etc. and to use

132 Boyd Street, Glasgow, G42 8TP

06/02/2023 Page 5 of 6
 Terms and Conditions
communal grounds, parking areas, and other facilities;

There are no particularly troublesome or unusual legal restrictions;

There is no current dispute between the occupiers of the flats or any outstanding claims or losses; and
the costs of repairs to the building are shared among the co-proprietors on an equitable basis.

Any additional assumption, or any found not to apply, is reported.

"Re-instatement cost" is an estimate for insurance purposes of the current cost of rebuilding the Property
in its present form unless otherwise stated. This includes the cost of rebuilding the garage and permanent
outbuildings, site clearance and professional fees, but excludes VAT (except on the fees).

Sellers or prospective Purchasers may consider it prudent to instruct a reinspection and revaluation after a
period of 12 weeks (or sooner if appropriate) to reflect changing circumstances in the market and/or in the
physical condition of the Property.

1. Information and scope of inspection
This section tells you about the type, accommodation, neighbourhood, age and construction of the property. It also
tells you about the extent of the inspection and highlights anything that the surveyor could not inspect.

All references to visual inspection refer to an inspection from within the property without moving any obstructions
and externally from ground level within the site and adjoining public areas. Any references to left or right in a description
of the exterior of the property refer to the view of someone standing facing that part of the property from the outside.

The inspection is carried out without causing damage to the building or its contents and without endangering the
occupiers or the surveyor. Heavy furniture, stored items and insulation are not moved. Unless identified in the report
the surveyor will assume that no harmful or hazardous materials or techniques have been used in the construction.
The presence or possible consequences of any site contamination will not be researched.

Services such as TV/cable connection, internet connection, swimming pools and other leisure facilities etc. will not
be inspected or reported on.

Single Survey
Roofing including roof space Sloping roofs were visually inspected with the aid of
binoculars where appropriate.

Flat roofs were visually inspected from vantage points

within the property and where safe and reasonable to do
so from a 3m ladder externally.

Roof spaces were visually inspected and were entered

where there was safe and reasonable access, normally
defined as being from a 3m ladder within the property.

If this is not possible, then physical access to the roof

space may be taken by other means if the Surveyor
deems it safe and reasonable to do so.

The roof was seen to be of pitched and hipped design and

overlaid with an interlocking concrete tile finish.

The roof covering over the bay window projection was seen
to be of flat design and overlaid with a felt material and/or
similar.

Access to the roof void was via a hatch in the landing ceiling.
This revealed a traditional timber frame construction that was
insulated at joist level.

Rainwater fittings Visually inspected with the aid of binoculars where

appropriate.

The rainwater goods serving the subjects were seen to be

formed in a combination of PVC and cast iron materials.

Main walls Visually inspected with the aid of binoculars where

appropriate.

Windows, external doors and joinery Internal and external doors were opened and closed
where keys were available.

Random windows were opened and closed where

possible.

Doors and windows were not forced open.

The windows in the property were seen to be of replacement

uPVC construction containing double glazing.

The subjects are accessed by a glazed timber door to the

side.

External decorations Visually inspected.

External decorations incorporate paint finishes.

Conservatories / porches Visually inspected.

There is a porch addition located to the side of the property.

This was seen to be of timber construction under a flat felt
roof covering. The porch incorporated timber framed single
glazed window units and timber doors to the front and rear.

Communal areas None.

Garages and permanent outbuildings Visually inspected.

There is a single car detached garage located within the rear

garden grounds which was seen to be of brick construction
rendered externally under a flat felt roof covering. The
garage has a storage area to the rear which was also seen to
be of brick construction under a flat felt roof covering.

Outside areas and boundaries Visually inspected.

There are private garden grounds to the front, side and rear
of the property.

Off street parking is provided within the garden grounds.

Single Survey
Ceilings Visually inspected from floor level.

The ceilings in the property were seen to be formed in a

plaster finish.

Textured coatings were noted to ceiling areas. On rare

occasions, these materials can have an asbestos content.
We have not tested these materials nor carried out an
asbestos survey however, until the material is professionally
tested the linings should be left undisturbed.

Internal walls Visually inspected from floor level.

Using a moisture meter, walls were randomly tested for

dampness where considered appropriate.

The internal walls in the property are overlaid in a

combination of plaster and plasterboard finishes.

Floors including sub floors Surfaces of exposed floors were visually inspected. No
carpets or floor coverings were lifted.

The flooring in the property appeared to be a combination of

suspended timber and solid concrete construction.

Fitted floor coverings were noted within which restricted the

scope of our inspection.

Internal joinery and kitchen fittings Built-in cupboards were looked into but no stored items
were moved.

Kitchen units were visually inspected excluding

appliances.

Internal joinery incorporate timber skirtings and doorways.

The kitchen facility incorporates fitted units.

Chimney breasts and fireplaces Visually inspected.

No testing of the flues or fittings was carried out.

There is an older style gas fired heater within the living room
apartment.

All other fireplaces in the property have been blocked over

and are no longer in use. It is assumed that the chimneys are
adequately vented with the chimneys capped. Ventilators
should be fitted to prevent the build-up of dampness within
the chimney flue.

Internal decorations Visually inspected.

Internal decorations incorporate paint, paper, tile and panel

finishes.

Cellars None.

Electricity Accessible parts of the wiring were visually inspected

without removing fittings. No tests whatsoever were
carried out to the system or appliances. Visual
inspection does not assess any services to make sure
they work properly and efficiently and meet modern
standards. If any services are turned off, the surveyor
will state that in the report and will not turn them on.

The electrical switchgear is located in the hallway.

Gas Accessible parts of the system were visually inspected

without removing fittings. No tests whatsoever were
carried out to the system or appliances. Visual
inspection does not assess any services to make sure
they work properly and efficiently and meet modern
standards. If any services are turned off, the surveyor
will state that in the report and will not turn them on.

The gas meter is located in the under stair cupboard.

Water, plumbing, bathroom fittings Visual inspection of the accessible pipework, water
tanks, cylinders and fittings without removing any
insulation.

No tests whatsoever were carried out to the system or

appliances.

Water is assumed to be connected to the mains.

Water piping, where visible, was run in copper and PVC. We

would highlight that it is possible in a property of this age to
have lead pipework still in use but hidden from view. A
suitably qualified contractor can give further advice in this
regard.

The shower room fittings incorporate a shower cubicle, WC

and wash hand basin.

132 Boyd Street, Glasgow, G42 8TP

Single Survey
Heating and hot water Visual inspection of the accessible pipework, water
tanks, cylinders and fittings without removing any
insulation.

No tests whatsoever were carried out to the system or

appliances.

Domestic heating is provided by way of a gas fired boiler wall

mounted within the under stair cupboard which vents by way
of a flue to the rear wall of the property.

Drainage Drainage covers etc. were not lifted.

Neither drains nor drainage systems were tested.

Drainage is assumed to be connected to the main public

sewer.

Fire, smoke and burglar alarms Visually inspected.

No tests whatsoever were carried out to the system or

appliances.

There were smoke alarms and a burglar alarm present in the

property. These were not tested.

All Scottish homes require a smoke alarm to be installed in

the room most frequently used for living purposes and in
every circulation space on each floor. A heat alarm also
needs to be installed in each kitchen. The alarms need to be
ceiling mounted and interlinked. Where there is a carbon-
fuelled appliance such as a boiler, open fire or wood burner, a
carbon monoxide detector is also required. We have not
assessed or tested any existing equipment and it is the
purchasers responsibility to confirm that the property will
comply with these standards following a change of
ownership.

Single Survey
Any additional limits to inspection Not all aspects of the chimney stacks, flashings and roof
covering could be seen from ground floor level and as such
we cannot fully comment upon the condition.

Only a very limited head and shoulders inspection of the roof

void was possible due to the area not being floored and the
presence of insulation.

Due to the decorative finishes found over the surfaces in the

property we could not inspect the areas below and cannot
fully comment upon their condition.

Due to the contents found in the garage and storage area, we

could not fully inspect the surrounding areas and cannot fully
comment upon the condition.

An inspection for Japanese Knotweed was not carried out.

This is a plant which is subject to control regulation, is
considered to be invasive and one which can render a
property unsuitable for some mortgage lenders. It is therefore
assumed that there is no Japanese Knotweed within the
boundaries of the property or its neighbouring property.
Identification of Japanese Knotweed is best undertaken by a
specialist contractor.

The property was fully furnished and had fitted floor

coverings, therefore no detailed inspection was possible of
the floors and accordingly, no comment can be made on their
condition. Internal cupboards were generally filled with
storage items. No access was available beneath sanitary or
kitchen fittings.

Windows and external doors were not all fully opened or

tested.

No access was available to any sub-floor areas.

Wall panelling within the property prevented accurate damp

readings being taken.

No inspection has been possible to flooring timbers beneath

any sanitary fitting, kitchen appliances or other wet areas was
possible. Timbers are assumed to be in a satisfactory
condition.

The cold water rising main was not fully inspectable.

parts of the property or cause a
safety hazard. Estimates for repairs
or replacement are needed now.

Structural movement

Repair category 1

Notes There was no evidence of significant structural movement within the

limitations of our inspection.

Dampness, rot and infestation

Repair category 2

Notes Staining and isolated higher than average damp meter readings were
recorded within bedroom 1 around the chimney wall head area, believed to
be a result of defective roof/chimney coverings. We were informed that
repairs were carried out to these areas in the past and any documentation
for this work, where available, should be obtained. The situation should be
monitored to ensure no further repairs are required.

Please see the comments Roof, including Roof Spaces for further details.

Chimney stacks

Repair category 1

Notes It would appear that previous repair works have been carried out to the
chimney stacks. Any documentation for this work, where available, should
be obtained.

Roofing including roof space

Repair category 2

Notes As previously mentioned, some staining and isolated higher than average
damp meter readings were recorded within the bedroom apartment at the
chimney wall head area, believed to be a result of a defective roof
covering/chimney stack. We were informed that repairs were carried out to
these areas and the situation should be monitored to ensure no further
repairs are required.

Staining was noted to some timbers in the roof void area.

Evidence of woodworm was noted to some timbers within the roof void
area requiring further investigation and repair.

There is a flat roof to the bay window projection. It should be appreciated

that this type of covering can have a limited life span and will require a
higher than normal degree of ongoing maintenance and eventual
replacement. It may be prudent to confirm the service history of the roof
covering.

Rainwater fittings

Repair category 1
Notes Within the limitations of our inspection rainwater goods were seen to be
free from significant defect.

We would highlight that it was not raining at the time of our inspection and
we would recommend that all rainwater fittings be inspected during heavy
rainfall in order to ensure they are free from defect.

Main walls

Repair category 1
Notes Within the limitations of our inspection, no significant defects were noted,
however normal levels of maintenance are recommended.

Recent patch repairs have been carried out to a section of the main walls at
the front of the property, where it has been re-rendered. Redecoration
should be anticipated. All documentation for these works should be
obtained.

Windows, external doors and joinery

Repair category 2
Notes The glazed timber side door to the property does not appear to have been
constructed using safety glass material. It would be prudent to have this
replaced with a modern counterpart.

Windows are of an age and style where a degree of ongoing maintenance

should be anticipated to sealed units and opening mechanisms.

External decorations

Repair category 1

Notes Paint finished and decorated external surfaces will require redecoration on
a regular basis.

Conservatories/porches

Repair category 2

Notes Wear and tear was noted to sections of the porch timbers.

The downpipe to the rear of the porch is missing and this should be
reinstated.

Communal areas

Repair category N/A

Notes Not applicable.

Garages and permanent outbuildings

Repair category 2

Notes Deterioration was noted to a section of the garage timbers.

We would highlight that the garage and store area do have a flat roof. The

4. Valuation and conveyancer issues
This section highlights information that should be checked with a solicitor or licensed conveyancer. It also gives an
opinion of market value and an estimated reinstatement cost for insurance purposes.

Matters for a solicitor or licensed conveyancer

Where defects or repairs have been identified within this report it is recommended that, prior to entering
into any legally binding sale or purchase contract, further specialist’s or contractor’s advice and
estimates should be obtained, to establish the implications, if any, on a potential offer to purchase or the
sale price likely to be achieved for the property.

It is assumed that there are no statutory, town planning, road proposals or environmental matters which
are likely to have an adverse effect on the property.

The road and footpath adjoining the site are made up and are assumed to be adopted by the Local
Authority.

Estimated reinstatement cost for insurance purposes

For Reinstatement Cost Assessment purposes, it is recommended that the subjects be insured for a
sum of not less than £245,000 (TWO HUNDRED AND FORTY FIVE THOUSAND POUNDS
STERLING).

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

Valuation and market comments

Having considered matters, taking account of our general observations on site, we are of the opinion that
the Market Value of the subjects in their present condition and with the benefit of vacant possession may
be fairly stated in the sum of £170,000 (ONE HUNDRED AND SEVENTY THOUSAND POUNDS
STERLING).

Summary of the energy performance related features of this home

This table sets out the results of the survey which lists the current energy-related features of this home. Each element
is 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 the
condition of an element and how well it is working. ‘Assumed’ means that the insulation could not be inspected and an
assumption has been made in the methodology, based on age and type of construction.

Element Description Energy Efficiency Environmental

Walls Cavity wall, as built, no insulation (assumed)
Roof Pitched, 250 mm loft insulation
Floor Suspended, no insulation (assumed)
Windows Fully double glazed
Main heating Boiler and radiators, mains gas
Main heating controls Programmer, room thermostat and TRVs
Secondary heating None
Hot water From main system
Lighting Low energy lighting in all fixed outlets

The energy efficiency rating of your home

Your Energy Efficiency Rating is calculated using the standard UK methodology, RdSAP. This calculates energy used
for heating, hot water, lighting and ventilation and then applies fuel costs to that energy use to give an overall rating
for your home. The rating is given on a scale of 1 to 100. Other than the cost of fuel for electrical appliances and for
cooking, 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 assumptions
which may be different from the way you use it. The rating also uses national weather information to allow comparison
between buildings in different parts of Scotland. However, to make information more relevant to your home, local
weather data is used to calculate your energy use, CO2 emissions, running costs and the savings possible from making
improvements.

The impact of your home on the environment

One of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The energy we use for heating, lighting and power
in our homes produces over a quarter of the UK’s carbon dioxide emissions. Different fuels produce different amounts
of carbon dioxide for every kilowatt hour (kWh) of energy used. The Environmental Impact Rating of your home is
calculated by applying these 'carbon factors' for the fuels you use to your overall energy use.
The calculated emissions for your home are 45 kg CO2/m²/yr.
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 3.2 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adopting
recommendations in this report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. If you were to install all of these
recommendations this could reduce emissions by 1.7 tonnes per year. You could reduce emissions even more by
switching to renewable energy sources.

About the recommended measures to improve your home’s performance rating

This section offers additional information and advice on the recommended improvement measures for your home
1 Cavity wall insulation
Cavity wall insulation, to fill the gap between the inner and outer layers of external walls with an insulating
material, reduces heat loss; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and lower fuel bills. The
insulation material is pumped into the gap through small holes that are drilled into the outer walls, and the holes
are made good afterwards. As specialist machinery is used to fill the cavity, a professional installation company
should carry out this work, and they should carry out a thorough survey before commencing work to ensure that
this type of insulation is suitable for this home and its exposure. They should also provide a guarantee for the
work and handle any building standards issues. Further information about cavity wall insulation and details of
local installers can be obtained from the National Insulation Association
(www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk).

2 Floor insulation (suspended floor)

Insulation of a floor will significantly reduce heat loss; this will improve levels of comfort, reduce energy use and
lower fuel bills. Suspended floors can often be insulated from below but must have adequate ventilation to
prevent dampness; seek advice about this if unsure. Further information about floor insulation is available from
many sources including www.energysavingtrust.org.uk/scotland/Insulation/Floor-insulation. Building regulations
generally apply to this work so it is best to check with your local authority building standards department.

3 Solar water heating

A solar water heating panel, usually fixed to the roof, uses the sun to pre-heat the hot water supply. This can
significantly reduce the demand on the heating system to provide hot water and hence save fuel and money.
Planning permission might be required, building regulations generally apply to this work and a building warrant
may be required, so it is best to check these with your local authority. You could be eligible for Renewable Heat
Incentive payments which could appreciably increase the savings beyond those shown on your EPC, provided
that both the product and the installer are certified by the Microgeneration Certification Scheme (or equivalent).
Details of local MCS installers are available at www.microgenerationcertification.org.

4 Solar photovoltaic (PV) panels

A solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no waste
and no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from
an energy supplier. Planning permission might be required, building regulations generally apply to this work and
a building warrant may be required, so it is best to check with your local authority. The assessment does not
include the effect of any Feed-in Tariff which could appreciably increase the savings that are shown on this EPC
for solar photovoltaic panels, provided that both the product and the installer are certified by the Microgeneration
Certification Scheme (or equivalent). Details of local MCS installers are available at
www.microgenerationcertification.org.

Low and zero carbon energy sources

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

Your home's heat demand

In this section, you can see how much energy you might need to heat your home and provide hot water. These are
estimates showing how an average household uses energy. These estimates may not reflect your actual energy use,
which could be higher or lower. You might spend more money on heating and hot water if your house is less energy
efficient. The table below shows the potential benefit of having your loft and walls insulated. Visit
