What is an EPC & Why do I need it?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) provides potential buyers or tenants with information about a building’s energy efficiency, helping them factor energy performance into their decision-making.
In the UK, all properties for sale or rent must legally have an EPC, except in specific cases where exemptions apply. If you believe your property qualifies, ensure you understand and document the exemption reasons according to regulations.
Please feel free to reach out for guidance or clarification on EPC requirements and exemptions.
How long does it last?
Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) have a validity period of 10 years and can be used repeatedly during that time frame. This means that a new EPC is not necessary with every change of tenancy or property sale, as long as the existing EPC is less than 10 years old.
In cases where multiple EPCs have been generated for the same property, the most recent EPC is considered the valid and relevant one for any transactions or assessments.
Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about EPCs or their usage within the 10-year validity period.
Do I need an EPC for my property?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is mandated when a building is constructed, sold, or rented out. According to the regulations, a building is defined as any roofed structure with walls that requires energy for indoor climate control. This definition also encompasses parts of a building that have been specifically designed or modified for separate use.
In summary, an EPC is necessary in the context of construction, sale, or rental of a building or its distinct parts that require energy for climate conditioning.
If you have questions or need further clarification on EPC requirements, feel free to reach out for assistance.
How does it help me?
Did you know your home’s value could be higher than you think? Homes with an EPC rating above C often sell for about 5% more than those rated D.
A better energy rating boosts market value and ensures a warm, dry indoor environment, reducing issues like dampness or mold. It also lowers utility bills, making your home more comfortable and enjoyable leading to a happier, healthier life.
If you're interested in improving your property's energy efficiency or understanding its potential value based on its EPC rating, feel free to reach out for more information.
Responsibility?
The property owner, seller, or landlord is responsible for obtaining an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) and must provide it to prospective buyers or tenants before finalizing any sale or lease agreements.
To get an EPC, the homeowner schedules an inspection with a local Domestic Assessor, who evaluates key aspects of the property. The certificate then outlines the property's energy efficiency and its environmental impact in terms of CO2 emissions.
If you have questions about obtaining an EPC or need assistance with the process, feel free to reach out for guidance.
