An EPC is required at the first change of tenant on a rented property after this date and is valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
The Energy Performance Certificate is broadly similar to the certificates found on many domestic appliances. However, these are not required to be stuck on the side of your property !!
A Certificate for a building gives the building an asset rating based on its energy efficiency, but doesn't take into account how the home is used by the occupiers.
The Certificate will give the building a rating from A to G. An A rating shows it's very efficient, meaning lower fuel bills, while G is inefficient, meaning higher fuel bills. The Certificate will also show the building's environmental impact by indicating its carbon-dioxide emissions.
We can arrange these for you at a cost of £ 99.00 plus VAT and we strongly advise that Landlords start arranging for EPC assessments to be carried out immediately.
