An EPC (Energy Performance Certificate) is a report which outlines the energy efficiency of a certain property. It takes into consideration factors like insulation, double glazing and boiler functionality, and gives an indication on how much you can expect bills to cost as well as giving information on recommended improvements. Whether you’re looking to buy, sell or rent a property, an up-to-date EPC can be an invaluable tool.
When buying or renting a property, more often than not you will find the EPC included in the property listing images so you can check it before deciding whether to arrange a viewing. To be valid, the EPC must be less than 10 years old, so you should always check the issue date for validity. If you cannot see the EPC included, or if the one displayed is out of date, you can check the EPC register online, or contact the agent or seller directly.
When selling or leasing a property, it is essential that you get your EPC before advertising as fines can be issued to both owner and agent for non-compliance. Contact Efficient Homes Energy Advisors today to order your EPC, and we will make all of the arrangements for you, hassle-free.
If you are looking to sell or rent out your home or business premises, before advertising it you must obtain an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate), which is required by law. Agents and websites which advertise properties will not allow you to use their services unless you have an EPC to show to potential viewers.
This is because if you are unable to display on the advert that you have an EPC, especially when a potential viewer requests it, then Trading Standards can issue fines to both the owner and the agent or website alike. It is now best practice to display your EPC in your property advert, and this will give useful information about your property to any interested parties.
You will also require an EPC if you are planning to apply for government energy funding such as a grant. For whatever reason you require an EPC, Efficient Homes Energy Advisors UK are at hand to do the legwork for you and introduce you to a certified assessor in your area.
