📋 Energy Assessor in Montrose, Angus

About Energy Assessors

An energy assessor surveys your property and produces an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) - the rating from A to G that is legally required when selling, letting or building a home.

Scotland has some of the UK's tightest energy efficiency regulations for rental properties, making a current EPC essential for landlords. An assessor can also advise on the improvements that would raise your rating most cost-effectively.

Check they are accredited with an approved scheme such as Elmhurst Energy or Stroma and hold a valid Level 3 Diploma in Domestic Energy Assessment - only accredited assessors can lodge certificates on the official register.

About Montrose

Montrose is a coastal town at the mouth of the South Esk, roughly midway between Dundee and Aberdeen, with a distinctive position between the open sea and a large tidal basin.

Montrose Basin is a 750-hectare tidal lagoon designated as a local nature reserve and managed by the Scottish Wildlife Trust - it attracts tens of thousands of migrating pink-footed geese each autumn and is one of the best birdwatching sites in eastern Scotland.

The town has a fine wide high street, a strong Georgian core and a history tied to trade, fishing and more recently the North Sea oil industry.

Montrose has a railway station on the main Aberdeen line, a leisure centre, independent shops and a broad range of services serving both the town and a large rural catchment to the north and west.

About Angus

(opens in new tab)

Angus is a council area on the east coast of Scotland, stretching from the North Sea shoreline inland through the fertile Strathmore valley to the high ground of the Angus Glens and the fringes of the Cairngorms.

Forfar is the county town and administrative centre, while Arbroath on the coast is the largest settlement - a town with deep historical significance as the place where the Declaration of Arbroath was signed in 1320.

The area divides naturally into three bands: the coastal strip with its harbours, beaches and golf links; the broad agricultural plain of Strathmore running through the middle; and the Highland glens - Clova, Prosen, Isla, Esk and Lethnot - that reach northward into the mountains.

Angus has a strong identity shaped by farming, fishing and food - the Arbroath smokie and the Forfar bridie are both nationally recognised and the soft fruit industry across the Strathmore valley has been a mainstay for generations.

Transport links include the main east coast rail line serving Arbroath, Carnoustie and Montrose, the A90 dual carriageway connecting Dundee to Aberdeen and a network of rural roads that reach into some of the most scenic and least-visited parts of Highland Scotland.
