No energy assessor listed in Aith yet.

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.

Aith is a small village on the shores of Aith Voe in western Mainland Shetland, serving as one of the focal points of the Aithsting and Sandsting area.

The village has a primary school, a health centre, a marina and a community hall and the Aith lifeboat station provides a vital emergency service for the surrounding waters.

Aith Junior High School serves the local area and the village is well regarded as a quiet, community-minded place to live with good access to both the west side and the main road north.

The surrounding landscape is typical of west Shetland - open moorland, small lochs and crofting land running down to the voes and the sea.

Shetland is an archipelago of around 100 islands - 16 of them inhabited - lying roughly 110 miles north of the Scottish mainland and 210 miles west of Norway, making it the most northerly part of the United Kingdom.

Lerwick is the capital and only town of any size, a compact and characterful harbour settlement that serves as the administrative, commercial and cultural centre of the islands. Around 7,000 of Shetland’s 23,000 residents live in and around the town.

Shetland’s economy has been shaped by the sea for centuries: fishing remains a major industry and the arrival of North Sea oil at the Sullom Voe terminal in the 1970s brought prosperity that was carefully managed through a charitable trust that continues to fund services and infrastructure across the islands.

The landscape is treeless, wind-scoured and dramatic - sea cliffs, voes (narrow inlets), tombolo beaches and open moorland define the character of the islands and nowhere in Shetland is more than three miles from the sea.

Shetland has a distinct cultural identity that draws on both Scottish and Norse heritage - the annual Up Helly Aa fire festival, the Shetland dialect and the fiddle music tradition are central to island life and the sense of community across the islands is strong and self-reliant.
