What Is an EPC?
The government has introduced the Energy Performance Certificate in order to comply with the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD). Using a standard table ranging from A to G, where A represents extremely efficient and G represents extremely inefficient, the EPC documents the levels of energy efficiency and CO2 emissions of a building.
An accredited energy assessor will first visit the property to conduct an inspection of the heating system, insulation in the attic, boiler, hot water tank, radiators, windows (including any potential double glazing), and other critical components. After collecting this data, it is input into a programme that determines the energy efficiency and CO2 emissions levels.
The programme then computes the property’s energy efficiency and provides a report outlining options to raise the ratings by installing low- or zero-carbon systems that won’t break the bank. This enables you to boost your energy levels and secure future fuel cost reductions.
You can find data about the effect on the environment in a comparable report. Without mentioning real household expenses, this study presents a table of projected annual energy bills together with the possibility of improved and reduced fuel costs.
Who Requires an EPC ?
If you own a property in England or Wales and want to sell or rent it, you are required to get an energy performance certificate (EPC) as of October 1, 2008.
When Selling Your Property
To sell a home, homeowners are now required by law to have an energy performance certificate (EPC) on file or ordered at the time the property hits the market. Within 28 days after the sale’s commencement date, your estate agency must upload this EPC. In contrast to when you’re looking to rent, selling a property does not yet necessitate a minimum EPC rating. In order to finalise a sale, an EPC is necessary; this includes transferring a property from a pension fund or passing it on to family, among other scenarios.
When Renting Your Property
Landlords are required to make energy performance certificates (EPCs) available to prospective tenants in order to rent or lease their properties. Unless a relevant exemption is registered, it is now illegal to rent out a house in the UK with an Energy Performance Certificate rating below an ‘E’ as of April 2018. Landlords face fines of up to £2,000 and/or publication penalties if they do not comply with the compliance notice. Please don’t hesitate to contact the team at 02033978220 if you would like to discuss the law, Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES), in further depth, since it may significantly affect your property portfolio.
How is an EPC Inspection carried out?
It is not possible to carry out a typical home EPC remotely; Energy Performance Certificate.co.uk must physically visit the property. All rooms, including the loft, if accessible, will need to be examined by the EPC assessor. The inspection will take less than half an hour and will not require you to move any furniture or rugs because it is intended to be a quick and non-invasive look around your house. In order for Energy Performance Certificate.co.uk assessment to take into account any measures that cannot be seen when at the house, such as suspended floor insulation, wall insulation (whether cavity or external), loft insulation, or any other type of insulation, you will need to provide proof of their existence. If the necessary proof is not given, the programme will extrapolate from on-site estimations of the property’s age and structure. While the assessor will need to measure each room and take numerous photos for the data submission, this does not constitute a marketing floor plan (which can be ordered separately).
Please provide your contact, property, and payment data in the form on their ‘EPC Quote’ link or give Energy Performance Certificate.co.uk a call at 0203 397 8220 to arrange for your EPC inspection.
