Key Features of an EPC

Energy Efficiency Rating:

• The EPC provides a rating scale from A to G, indicating the current energy efficiency of the property. It includes an estimate of energy use, potential savings on energy bills, and carbon dioxide emissions.

Environmental Impact Rating:

• The certificate also includes an environmental impact rating, showing the property’s carbon dioxide emissions. It highlights the ecological footprint and suggests ways to reduce it.

Recommendations for Improvement:

• Offers tailored advice on how to enhance the property’s energy efficiency, including potential upgrades like insulation, heating systems, and renewable energy solutions.

Validity:

• An EPC is valid for 10 years, and should be updated if significant changes are made to the property that could affect its energy efficiency.

Why You Might Need an EPC

Selling a Property:

• Provides buyers with important information about the energy efficiency of the property, potentially affecting their purchasing decision and price negotiations.

Renting a Property:

• Ensures compliance with legal requirements, providing tenants with insights into the likely energy costs and efficiency of the rental property.

Improving Property Efficiency:

• Identifies areas for improvement to reduce energy bills and enhance the property’s overall energy performance, making it more attractive to buyers or tenants.

Meeting Legal Requirements:
