Introducing you to:

Welcome to the November edition of the Scafol newsletter!

This month we delve into whether EPC Ratings may start to shape the housing market in the future, and explore the nuances of work-life balance. 

In this issue, we take a closer look at how EPC ratings influence property values, including insights from an exclusive podcast conversation with Adrian Drummond of SDL. Together, we examine the link between energy efficiency and home appeal, along with practical strategies for smart retrofitting to boost those ratings. Additionally, don’t miss our featured blog, which unpacks the importance of a healthy work-life balance. We explore the unique challenges and rewards of both employed and self-employed lifestyles, which highlights how Scafol can help you find the right balance to suit your needs. 

With an automated quoting system integrated into your business website via a webhook, you can streamline and enhance your customer journey from start to finish. Following on from a recent update, this system doesn’t just generate instant quotes; it now allows clients to accept quotes online, review and agree to terms of engagement, and proceed seamlessly to invoicing. We have now added a booking form where clients can enter all necessary details for you,  resulting in you saving valuable time while ensuring that you receive all essential information upfront. This end-to-end process not only speeds up administrative tasks but also provides a smooth, efficient experience for your clients, allowing you to focus more on delivering great service.

Ever wondered if your home's EPC rating really matters? In this episode of the Scafol Surveying Solutions Podcast, we sit down with chartered surveyor Adrian Drummond, MRICS, to unravel the mysteries of EPCs and their impact on property values.

Adrian, who boasts a wealth of experience as an Assistant Training and Quality Care Manager, Area Surveyor at SDL Surveying, APC Assessor, SAVA Assessor, Domestic Energy Assessor and Retrofit Assessor, shares his expert knowledge on how to navigate the world of energy efficiency and property valuation.

In today’s fast-paced world, achieving a healthy work-life balance has become more important than ever, especially within the demanding field of residential surveying. In this blog, we explore the crucial differences between work-life balance for employees versus self-employed professionals, and how these factors can impact productivity and personal well-being.
