EPC

An Energy Performance Certificate is now compulsory whenever a building is built, sold or rented out and must be done prior to the property entering the market place.

EPC’s are used to rate the energy efficiency of a property by looking at the energy use and carbon dioxide emissions.

Visual EPC’s will also indicate where it is possible to improve the energy rating by making recommendations, e.g.

• Fitting loft insulation
• Cost savings if the recommendations are made.
• Possible new EPC ratings

The recommendations are not mandatory but with the average property scoring a D and the potential to rise to A, this could be good comparison point for a buyer, as all properties are measured in exactly the same way.
