An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that provides an assessment of the energy efficiency of a building, typically a home or commercial property, in the United Kingdom. The certificate contains information about a property’s energy use and typical energy costs, as well as recommendations for improving energy efficiency to reduce these costs.
Key points about EPCs include:
- Energy Efficiency Rating: The EPC provides an energy efficiency rating for the property, which ranges from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). This rating is based on various factors including the type of construction, insulation, heating system, and windows.
- Environmental Impact: The EPC also includes an environmental impact rating, indicating the property’s carbon dioxide emissions.
- Recommendations: The certificate offers recommendations for improving energy efficiency, which can include measures such as upgrading insulation, installing double glazing, or changing to a more efficient heating system.
- Validity: An EPC is valid for 10 years from the date of issue.
- Requirement: It is a legal requirement to have an EPC when a property is built, sold, or rented. The certificate must be available to potential buyers or tenants at the earliest opportunity.
- Assessment: To obtain an EPC, a qualified energy assessor must visit the property to conduct an assessment.
- Cost: £75 fixed fee for up to 6 bedrooms.
The EPC helps prospective buyers or tenants understand how much they might need to spend on energy bills and what improvements can be made to enhance the property’s energy efficiency.
Do Landlords need an EPC?
Landlords in the UK are required to acquire an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) every 10 years. In Scotland, obtaining an EPC is a prerequisite for advertising, while in the rest of the UK, the process of obtaining an EPC must be underway during advertising, with the certificate provided to tenants upon move-in.
Since April 2018, it is unlawful to lease any residential or commercial property in England or Wales with an EPC Rating below E.
How long are EPC’s valid?
The validity period of an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is 10 years.
To ensure that your EPC accurately represents your property, it should reflect the information about the property at the time of application. If you’ve carried out construction work on your property, obtaining a new EPC may be necessary to align with the current circumstances of the property.
What does an EPC tell you?
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rating indicates the energy efficiency of your property, assigning it a rating from A to G, with A being the most energy-efficient.
