Can I install an EV charger on a flat or terraced house in Neath?
Honest guidance on installing an EV charger on a flat or terraced house in Neath. Cable routing, freeholder consent, OZEV grant.
Property type: what is involved, what it depends on, and what we would check first at a SA10–SA11 address. Nothing is charged for on the basis of a guess. Where a reading is borderline, it is reported as borderline. That is the difference between a guess and a measurement. We take the view that OZEV grant still available for flats and renters should be established before a price is written, not after. That is slower to quote and cheaper to complete. That holds whether the property is owned, let or being sold. What follows is what we actually do about property type in Neath, rather than a general description of the trade.
