What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
It's an assessment of your property's energy efficiency to give a rating (between A, the most efficient and G, the least.) Older houses therefore generally score lower than modern ones with higher building standards.
In addition to construction, we note insulation, glazing and lighting as well as heating arrangements.
When do I need an EPC?
When selling, you need an updated EPC (within the last 10 years) before you market your property for sale.
LETTING - in addition to the above (or when the tenancy ceases), your rental property must have a minimum E rating under MEES obligations (MEES) although some exemptions may apply.
What's the cost?
For local properties (within 5 miles), we charge £95 (inc VAT) for a 2 bed house/flat and an additional £10 for each further bedroom.
Service
As part of our service we clarify recommended measures which can improve the EPC rating.
