Assessor’s accreditation number:

The Energy Performance Certificate for this dwelling was produced following an energy assessment undertaken by a

qualified assessor, accredited by Elmhurst Energy Systems Ltd, to a scheme authorised by the Government. This

certificate was produced using the RdSAP 2005 assessment methodology and has been produced under the Energy

Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) Regulations 2007 as amended. A copy

of the certificate has been lodged on a national register.

If you have a complaint or wish to confirm that the certificate is genuine

Details of the assessor and the relevant accreditation scheme are as above. You can get contact details of the

accreditation scheme from their website at www.elmhurstenergy.co.uk together with details of their procedures for

confirming authenticity of a certificate and for making a complaint.

About the building’s performance ratings

The ratings on the certificate provide a measure of the building's overall energy efficiency and its environmental

impact, calculated in accordance with a national methodology that takes into account factors such as insulation,

heating and hot water systems, ventilation and fuels used. The average Energy Efficiency Rating for a dwelling in

England and Wales is band E (rating 46).

Not all buildings are used in the same way, so energy ratings use 'standard occupancy' assumptions which may be

different from the specific way you use your home. Different methods of calculation are used for homes and for other

buildings. Details can be found at www.communities.gov.uk/epbd.

Buildings that are more energy efficient use less energy, save money and help protect the environment. A building

with a rating of 100 would cost almost nothing to heat and light and would cause almost no carbon emissions. The

potential ratings on the certificate describe how close this building could get to 100 if all the cost effective

recommended improvements were implemented.

About the impact of buildings on the environment

One of the biggest contributors to global warming is carbon dioxide. The way we use energy in buildings causes

emissions of carbon. The energy we use for heating, lighting and power in homes produces over a quarter of the

UK's carbon dioxide emissions and other buildings produce a further one-sixth.

The average household causes about 6 tonnes of carbon dioxide every year. Adopting the recommendations in this

report can reduce emissions and protect the environment. You could reduce emissions even more by switching to

renewable energy sources. In addition there are many simple everyday measures that will save money, improve

comfort and reduce the impact on the environment. Some examples are given at the end of this report.

About the cost effective measures to improve this home’s energy ratings

If you are a tenant, before undertaking any work you should check the terms of your lease and obtain approval from

your landlord if the lease either requires it, or makes no express provision for such work.

These measures are relatively inexpensive to install and are worth tackling first. Some of them may be installed as

DIY projects. DIY is not always straightforward, and sometimes there are health and safety risks, so take advice

before carrying out DIY improvements.

Lower cost measures (typically up to £500 each)

1 Low energy lighting

Replacement of traditional light bulbs with energy saving recommended ones will reduce lighting costs over the lifetime of the bulb,

and they last up to 12 times longer than ordinary light bulbs. Also consider selecting low energy light fittings when redecorating;

contact the Lighting Association for your nearest stockist of Domestic Energy Efficient Lighting Scheme fittings.

About the further measures to achieve even higher standards

Further measures that could deliver even higher standards for this home. You should check the conditions in any

covenants, planning conditions, warranties or sale contracts before undertaking any of these measures. If you are a

tenant, before undertaking any work you should check the terms of your lease and obtain approval from your

landlord if the lease either requires it, or makes no express provision for such work.

2 Internal or external wall insulation

Solid wall insulation involves adding a layer of insulation to either the inside or the outside surface of the external walls, which

reduces heat loss and lowers fuel bills. As it is more expensive than cavity wall insulation it is only recommended for walls without a

cavity, or where for technical reasons a cavity cannot be filled. Internal insulation, known as dry-lining, is where a layer of insulation

is fixed to the inside surface of external walls; this type of insulation is best applied when rooms require redecorating and can be

installed by a competent DIY enthusiast. External solid wall insulation is the application of an insulant and a weather-protective

finish to the outside of the wall. This may improve the look of the home, particularly where existing brickwork or rendering is poor,

and will provide long-lasting weather protection. Further information can be obtained from the National Insulation Association

(www.nationalinsulationassociation.org.uk). It should be noted that planning permission might be required.

3 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. The

British Photovoltaic Association has up-to-date information on local installers who are qualified electricians and on any grant that

may be available. Planning restrictions may apply in certain neighbourhoods and you should check this with the local authority.

Building Regulations apply to this work, so your local authority building control department should be informed, unless the installer

is appropriately qualified and registered as such with a competent persons scheme¹, and can therefore self-certify the work for

Building Regulation compliance.

What can I do today?

Ensure that you understand the dwelling and how its energy systems are intended to work so as to obtain

the maximum benefit in terms of reducing energy use and CO2 emissions.•

Actions that will save money and reduce the impact of your home on the environment include:

Check that your heating system thermostat is not set too high (in a home, 21°C in the living room is

suggested) and use the timer to ensure you only heat the building when necessary.•

• Turn off lights when not needed and do not leave appliances on standby. Remember not to leave chargers

(e.g. for mobile phones) turned on when you are not using them.

• Close your curtains at night to reduce heat escaping through the windows.

• If you’re not filling up the washing machine, tumble dryer or dishwasher, use the half-load or economy

programme.

No

Informative A negative reply does not imply that the property is free from contamination or from risk to it, and the reply may not disclose steps taken by another council in whose area adjacent or adjoining land is situated. The Environment Act 1995 introduced a contaminated land regime forming part IIA of the Environmental Protection Act 1990 which became effective in April 2000. This change saw owner/occupiers become potentially liable for clean up costs as a Class ‘B’ “Appropriate Person.” Local Authorities are now responsible for preparation of reports on contamination in their respective areas and their subsequent local strategy. Local Authorities will intermittently inspect their areas in respect of contamination and take action against those seriously contaminated area. Registers of remediation notices and contaminated land identified under s.78R must also be kept. These registers do not form lists of contaminated sites; rather sites where Remediation Notices have been served. It is intended that information will also be included with regard to the condition of the land in question. As part of the OneSearch Local Search we will inspect the remediation register where available

Radon Gas 3.13. Do records indicate that the property is in a “Radon Affected Area” as identified by the Health Protection Agency (a body established under section 1 of the Health Protection Agency Act 2004)?

Yes

Yes, the property is in an area where 5-10% of homes are estimated to be at or above the Action Level. See the informative paragraph below for further information that sellers are recommended to provide.

Informative “Radon Affected Area” means a part of the country with a 1% probability or more of present or future homes being above the Action Level. Such areas are designated by the Health Protection Agency which also advises Government on the numerical value of the “Radon Action Level” (the recommended maximum radon concentration for present homes expressed as an annual average concentration in the home. Radon concentrations above the Action Level should be reduced below it and become as low as reasonably practicable). The areas are identified from radiological evidence and are periodically reviewed by the Health Protection Agency or its predecessor the National Radiation Protection Board. Existing homes in Affected Areas should have radon measurements. The present owner should say whether the radon concentration has been measured in the property; whether the result was at or above the Action Level and if so whether remedial measures were installed and whether the radon concentration was re-tested to assess the effectiveness of the remedy. Radon preventative measures are required for new buildings in higher risk areas. For new properties the builder and/or the owners of properties built after 1988 should say whether protective measures were incorporated in the construction of the property. Further information on radon, including an indicative version of the radon Affected Areas map, the associated health risks and common questions and answers is available on the Health Protection Agency (HPA) web site (<http://www.hpa.org.uk/radiation/radon/index.htm>). Alternatively information can be requested from HPA by telephone (0800 614529 [24hr] or 01235 822622 [D/T]) or by writing to Radon Studies, Health Protection Agency, Radiation Protection Division, Chilton, Didcot, Oxon, OX11 0RQ.

POLICY SUMMARY FOR SEARCH REPORT INSURANCE POLICY

1.

The policy is provided at no cost to the Insured by OneSearch Direct Limited as part of its service.

Price 12.

Should First Title Insurance plc become unable at any time to meet claims against it the Financial Services Compensation Scheme will protect your interests. There are maximum levels of compensation you can receive under the Scheme. You will normally be covered for at least 90% of the payment due under your policy.

Compensation 11.

If you wish to complain about any aspect of the service you have received regarding the insurance policy, please contact First Title Insurance plc at Title House, 33-39 Elmfield Road, Bromley, Kent BR1 1LT. Please quote the policy reference. SRIP/07/09. If your complaint is not dealt with to your satisfaction you may complain to the Financial Ombudsman Service, South Quay Plaza, 183 Marsh Wall, London E14 9SR. Telephone: 0845 080 1800. There are some instances where the Financial Ombudsman Service cannot consider your complaint. Making a complaint will not prejudice your right to take legal proceedings.

Complaints. 10.

If you require further information or have any queries regarding the policy you should contact First Title Insurance plc at Title House, 33-39 Elmfield Road, Bromley, Kent BR1 1LT.

Queries. 9.

Anyone wishing to claim under the insurance given under the Search Report Insurance Policy must advise First Title in writing as soon as possible after becoming aware of any claim or circumstance which might entitle them to make a claim. Please see paragraph 5 of the policy.

Claims. 8.

Cover under insurance given under the Search Report Insurance Policy protects only the persons specified in the policy as an “Insured” and does not continue to protect any purchaser from an insured. Each person who is insured should check periodically to ensure that the policy still meets their needs. Please refer to paragraph 2 of the policy.

Term of the policy. 7.

Because the interests of a number of persons may all be protected at the same time by insurance given under the Search Report Insurance Policy in relation to each individual property, no person insured under the policy will have the right to cancel the insurance without the written agreement of all other persons who might benefit from the insurance. No refund of premium will be payable. See paragraph 17 of the policy.

Cancellation Terms. 6.

The insurance given under the Search Report Insurance Policy is a contract of indemnity against actual monetary loss and any payment under it will not exceed the amounts detailed in paragraph 1.1 of the policy, which should be referred to.

Limitations of the Policy. 5.

All of the matters which are excluded from cover are detailed in paragraph 3 of the Search Report Insurance Policy. Please read this part of the policy carefully.

What does the policy not cover? 4.

The insurance given under the Search Report Insurance Policy protects against actual loss suffered because of any adverse circumstance which existed in the records of an Appropriate Body and affected the Land at the time a Search Report was compiled as part of a Home Information Pack (as defined in the Home Information Pack Regulations 2007 or any amendment or re-enactment of them which is in force at the Policy Date) but was not fully disclosed in the Search Report. It also protects the Insured against such an actual loss which is incurred because a conveyancer acting in the sale or purchase of the house, or a loan made for the purpose of the purchase, relies on the search report produced by OneSearch Direct rather than a report obtained from an official body. See the Coverage Statement in paragraph 2 of the policy.

Type of insurance. 3.

First Title Insurance plc provides general insurance products and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority.

Q7. Does the public sewer map indicate any public sewer, disposal main or lateral drain

within the boundaries of the property?

The public sewer map indicates that there are no public sewers, disposal main or

lateral drains within the boundaries of the property. However, it has not always been

a requirement for such public sewers, disposal mains or lateral drains to be recorded

on the public sewer map. It is therefore possible for unidentified sewers, disposal

mains or lateral drains to exist within the boundaries of the property.

See notes - k,l,b.

Q8. Does the public sewer map indicate any public sewer within 30.48 metres (100 feet)

of any buildings within the property?

The public sewer map included indicates that there is a public sewer within 30.48

metres (100 feet) of a building within the property.

See Notes - c,m,n.

Q9. Has a sewerage undertaker approved or been consulted about any plans to erect a

building or extension on the property over or in the vicinity of a public sewer,

disposal main or drain?

There are no records in relation to any approval or consultation about plans to erect

a building or extension on the property over or in the vicinity of a public sewer,

disposal main or drain. However, the sewerage undertaker might not be aware of a

building or extension on the property over or in the vicinity of a public sewer,

disposal main or drain.

continued

Not meeting a water quality standard does not necessarily mean that there is any risk to

public health. The standards set by the regulations are very stringent and include a wide

margin for safety. South West Water investigates all infringements of water quality standards

thoroughly and takes corrective action to resolve any problems, as well as reporting in all

circumstances to the UK Drinking Water Quality Regulator, the Drinking Water Inspectorate

(DWI), who assess the investigation reports and decide if any further action is required.

In the last 12 months all such reports have been assessed as requiring no further action with

individual failures classed as 'trivial' or 'unlikely to recur'. The numbers of water quality

failures across the region have fallen dramatically in the last ten years from circa 250-300

per annum to 25-30 per annum. This has been due to significant capital investment in water

treatment and water main refurbishment.



Coliform

Coliform bacteria are widely distributed in the environment, often as a result of human or

animal activity but some grow on plant matter. These bacteria are usually harmless in

themselves, but if present, indicate a possibility of contamination or a disinfection process

not working properly. Some of the bacteria we find are from dirty household taps, but in all

cases where bacteria is found we respond urgently to ensure the drinking water is safe.

household. Treatment p lants shou ld conform to the same operat iona l and env i ronmenta l s tandards app l ied to

sewage works operated by the water company. Accordingly, the running costs for small plants can be substantial

and as environmental standards are raised there may be a need for additional capital investment.

Private Water Supplies

Where a property has no connection to the water mains, a suitable private spring or surface water source may be

used. This may require extens ive t reatment to make the suppl ies safe and wi l l be subject to examinat ion and

control by the local environmental health officer. Approval under the Building Act 1984 for new building work for

domestic properties will not be granted unless adequate water supplies and drainage facilities are available.

adv i sed that in order to mainta in adequate future access to the p ipe l ine and to avo id inter ference

with it, it is necessary to ensure that the following guidelines are observed:

1. Buildings And Permanent Structures

Clear working strip:

A clear working strip along the pipe is required between buildings and permanent structures and this must be:-

Pipes up to 150mm diameter 4.0 metres

Pipes 151-600mm diameter 7.0 metres

Pipes 601mm diameter and over 9.0 metres

Proximity of buildings:

No buildings or permanent structures should be placed within 2 metres of pipes below 300mm in diameter or within 3.5 metres

o f p ipes o f 300mm or over i n d iameter (d i s tances measured f r om the cen t re o f t he p i pe ) , and i n add i t i on , bu i l d i ng s and

permanent structures must be constructed so as to ensure that no additional loads are transmitted to the pipe.

(N.B: Pipe sizes refer to the internal diameter / bore of the pipe).

2. Trees And Shrubs

Roots can damage pipelines over t ime and extensive root systems wil l l imit access to the pipel ine in breach of the Company’ s

right to access for repair or replacement.

As a ru le of thumb, the root spread of a t ree i s approx imate ly the same as i t s eventua l canopy spread. To he lp you avo id

damage or interference to the pipeline, the Company suggests the following guidelines:-

§ no large or forest trees should be planted with 7 metres of the pipel ine (examples include Oak, Ash, Beech, Douglas Fir,

Sitka Spruce etc.)

§ medium to small sized trees should always be planted in such a way as to ensure that the eventual root spread reaches no

closer than 1 metre of the pipeline, in practice, if trees are planted a distance of 5 metres away from the pipel ine, this

should be sufficient.

§ bushes and shrubs should never be planted closer than 2 metres from the pipeline

§ closer than 2 metres either side of the pipeline may be planted with hedge plants and ground cover only.

The measurements and distances set out are for gu idance only and there wi l l a lways be except ion, for example: Poplars and

Willows, which have a particularly invasive root system. If you are unsure of any individual case, then special ist advice should

always be sought prior to planting.

The guidel ines set out above are based on the Company’s standard access requirements for i ts apparatus. I f , for engineer ing

reasons, the distances set out need to be var ied at part icu lar locat ions, you wi l l be advised of th i s before compensat ion for

works is finalised.

If you need to know the precise underground location of a new water main / sewer after its instal lation, please contact any of

the Company’s local offices, and Company staff will be pleased to mark out the position of the pipeline within your land.

If the Company f inds any infr ingement of i ts legal r ights of access, or any damage being caused to the pipel ine, the Company

reserves the right to take appropriate action to ensure that there is no interference with its statutory apparatus.
