 The government now require an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to be carried out on all homes that are marketed for sale after December 14th 2007.
AND from 1 October 2008 EPCs will also be required for all domestic rental properties. Unlike the EPCs for the sales market, these documents will last for ten years.
The Energy Performance Certificate is broadly similar to the energy certificates found on many domestic appliances.
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 that it is 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.
There will also be recommendations for cost-effective actions to improve the building's rating. A 'potential rating' will also be provided and is based on all the recommendations being implemented. Please read the advice and information before booking an appointment.
