domestic energy assessors

It's taken me three months to do it but today I received a request to produce an EPC, I gave a quote and got the job so thank you DEA Local.

I have recieved 3 jobs through DEA local. Had to do them for well under my normal rate but they are welcome none the same.

May I say 3 more than from any of the HIP pack suppliers I registered with.

Keep up the good work Manuel

This is just to say, no sooner than I post my first blog complaining about no work and no money and having spent up trying to get a exclusive patch with a HIP provider who still has not passed work over as yet.

I got a call direct from a member of the public who wanted a full HIP. I had to be competitive but it was local and got the job. The client did not get my name from the providers marketing or my web site www.epcservice.co.uk but from DEAlocal.

A big thank you Manuel and hope there's more to come and also for your efforts trying to sort an old fools text links for his website. I will be back to you on that one soon.

Many thanks

I have just had my first enquiry for an Energy Assessment so fingers crossed the first of many

Thanks

Hi Manuel, my name is Jack Chawawa operating inYorkshire area. I think I may have recieved some interest from the DEA local directory but Im not 100% sure if it was DEA local or the 'small business' directory.

As a result I have had 20 surveys since April 2008 and I have been promised some 200 to do before 1 October 2008. These are all rental accommodation which I beleive is where the market is and not the house sale market - but I may be wrong these are only my experiences. 

12 months after passing my DEA exam, almost to the day, I recieved a call from a local solicitor quoting the DEA Local website. With that call and some other avenues I've been busy since and would like to take the time to thank Manuel for all his hard work (though I am sure he has help).

This is a truly brilliant site and it is great to find someone who is taking the time to make the world a better place without trying to use Energy Assessors as a source of income!

Good Luck to Manuel and I hope some Assessors have the same fortune.

Hi Manuel, my name is Alex operating in SW London. I think I may have recieved some interest from the DEA local directory- But Im not 100% sure if it was DEA local or the 'small business' directory.

I have been pleased to receive a number of enquiries regarding the provision of an EPC and have carried out one just a few days ago as a result of a lead from DEA Local for a couple who are compiling their own HIP.

I hope to get a few more as a result of the further enquiries I have received recently. In a tough market you seem to be able to attract business leads to your site and to the DEA's that are registered. I can thoroughly recommend this portal to all DEA's. 

I GOT 4 INTERESTED SO FAR, AND GOT 1 JOB OUT OF THAT.
I GUESS TOO MUCH COMPETITIONS OUT THERE.

The sad thing is, that the Accreditation Companies, HIP Providers and Panels making good money out of this, not we DEAs. HIP Providers squeezing the DEAs, because the required documents for the HIP has a standard prize, so they saving on us, and they pay less and less for our work.

Thats why website like yours are important, and just another opportunity to get some work in, for a more decent pay.

Thanks for again for your emails and updates.

Keep up the good work!!  ;-))

KIND REGARDS

Yes I received one query from your site in March.  Nothing else since then.

Hi Manuel

So far I have received one telephpone enquiry - a young lady requesting information on the EPC process and it's pricing.  I provided full details although she was hoping her estate agent would pay for the EPC.

ENCALC ENERGY ASSESSORS, Stoke on Trent 

I have received 2 enquiries so far, 1 became a job (Guy putting his own pack together) Unfortunately this is the only job so far. But without Dealocal total would be Zero. Seems to me the only people who are making money are Trainning and Accreditation bodies!

This is a fabulous site, easy to use and navigate around. I have had a couple of successful enquiries as a result of signing up to this free advertising opportunity.

Thank you for all of your hard work

Greetings,

I've had referrals to my website which have emanated from DEAlocal, but no direct contacts or work. Most of my current work is for HIPs via my own website. However I think DEAlocal is extremely worthwhile, and a valuable source. Let's hope the lettings market offers more opportunites.

Wish I could be more positive, but one enquiry so far. We live in hope.

I think the DEA Local site is great and I very much appreciate the efforts Mauuel has put into the site.  It is very important that DEAs communicate, and exchange ideas, feedback and suggestions.

I have yet to receive any queries at all but the market is particularly depressed in my locality and I maintain my optimism for the future whilst continuing to seek a variety of possible sources of work.

Kind regards,

Adam Cannon 

To date I have recieved 2 enquiries as a result of DEAlocal, which considering the market at present offeres slight hope.  Work generally is very slow, and it would seem that 'pack providers' have stiched up the market as far as EPC's are concerned. 

I've had 2 enquiries one of which I'm doing this week.

DEAlocal has already provided several leads which we have turned into jobs. Great service and great information provided on site.

Highly recommend to any DEA.

Last week I recieved an enquirery through DEA Local by a solicitor, I gave my quote and recieved the commision. Thanks DEA Local

Regards

I did get one job in March from a local directory which might have been DEAlocal or localsurveyorsdirect who I am also signed up with. I also got an enquiry in April which didn't translate into work. 

I understand that nationally there is an increase in individuals commissioning EPCs and HIPs rather than relying on estate agents or solicitors to arrange but at the moment I am not getting these commissions.

I am now able to provide a HIP at £250.

Do let me know of any future developments.

Thanks

I was rather sceptical whether anyone would look for a DEA online but I must admit I was wrong. I’ve already had one enquiry form a local homeowner and also one job through a solicitor who contacted me through DEA Local.

He used the site as he was in another part of the country and needed and EPC doing on a flat in my area. (Twickenham). My quote was accepted and the job completed to everyone’s satisfaction.

Many thanks DEA Local.
