No energy assessor listed in Calderwood 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.

Calderwood is a large modern housing development on the edge of East Calder in West Lothian, close to Almondell and Calderwood Country Park.

The area has grown as part of East Calder's expansion, with new family housing, a primary school and early years facilities serving the emerging community.

It sits within commuting distance of Livingston and Edinburgh, with road links via the A71 and nearby access to the wider West Lothian network.

As a predominantly new-build area, Calderwood creates steady demand for landscaping, fencing, decorating, snagging and home improvement trades.

West Lothian is a council area in the heart of the central belt, sitting between Edinburgh to the east, Falkirk to the north and North Lanarkshire to the west.

It is a county of contrasts: historic royal burghs like Linlithgow and ancient villages like Torphichen sit alongside the new town of Livingston and the former mining and shale oil communities that shaped the landscape in the 19th and 20th centuries.

Livingston is the county's main centre - Scotland's fifth-largest settlement - but West Lothian's character is defined as much by its smaller towns: Bathgate, Broxburn, Whitburn and Linlithgow each have their own distinct identity.

The oil shale industry, pioneered here in the 1850s by James Young, left a lasting mark on the landscape in the form of distinctive pink bings - the waste heaps of the shale works - that have become recognised landmarks in their own right.

West Lothian has excellent transport connections, with the M8 and M9 crossing the county, two rail lines linking it to Edinburgh and Glasgow and Edinburgh Airport on its eastern edge.
