What is an EPC And Why You Need One

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) rates the energy efficiency and environmental impact of a property. It is rated on a scale from A to G (where A is the most efficient and G the least efficient). Commonly refered to as an EPC, it is a document which is required when a property is to be sold or rented out.

If you are selling your property a sale cannot legally be completed by the buyers or sellers solicitor unless it has a valid EPC in place on the official EPC Register.

For rentals, all private rental properties in Briercliffe must achieve an energy efficiency rating of at least E on their Energy Performance Certificate. If your property has an F or G Rating you may not be allowed to rent it out unless it is covered by a statutory exemption.

The information on the EPC will help you make your property more energy efficient and allow potential buyers or tenants to compare the energy efficiency of different properties.

Why A Buyer or Tenant Needs To See The EPC

Property buyers or potential tenants need to know the energy efficiency of a property before agreeing to a purchase or tenancy agreement. This is more important than ever following the rapid rise in gas and electricity prices.

For rentals, choosing a more energy efficient property will help to safeguard the occupants by providing a warmer, more desirable home with lower running costs. If tenants are spending less on fuel bills, this could help to reduce the possibility of rent arrears. Finding an energy efficient home could also mean that tenants stay for longer, providing more stable rental income for the landlord.

If I miss your call please use the 'call me back' facility in the right hand menu or if you are on a mobile device please text me and I will get back to you.

I will provide your EPC at fair fixed price with no extra costs on the day. The price I quote is the price you will pay. I provide a personal and professional service. I look forward to providing your EPC so please call now to book an appointment.

I will arrange to visit your property at a time that is convenient to you, normally within 48 hours and carry out the EPC survey. On an average domestic property this will take around 40 minutes. I will produce the certificate within 48 hours of the epc survey. I will then email you a link to your EPC on the official register.  Your Energy Performance Certificate will be valid for a period of 10 years from the date of issue.

EPC Prices in Briercliffe

There are lots of factors which can affect the cost of your energy performance certificate, such as travel time and fuel costs. If the surveyor has to travel a long way to Briercliffe then it is likely the price you pay will be higher than it will be if you use our Local EPC Service.

Are You Using An EPC Booking Service or 'Panel'

A booking service or 'panel' is a service which advertises energy performance certificates but does not actually provide the EPC themselves. They are usually a booking service which adds a middleman fee to the price you pay. You can avoid this unnecessary cost by calling us direct.

Energy Efficiency Tips

We have put together some tips on how to improve your energy performance certificate rating. Please read this advice before we attend your property.

1. Try and make sure as many of your fixed light fittings as possible have low energy lamps fitted. This will improve the epc rating.
   
   
2. If you have a hot water tank, make sure there is plenty of insulation around it. Good insulation can make a significant difference to the epc rating.
   
   
3. Loft insulation. If I cannot see the loft is insulated because either I cannot gain loft access or because the loft is boarded over we have to report insulation as 'unknown' which could have a negative effect on the epc rating. Please have any paperwork available to prove loft insulation is fitted.
   
   
4. Cavity wall insulation can have a substantial impact on the epc rating. If you have cavity wall insulation which is not visible due to the property having been rendered after installation this can lower the epc rating as we have to assume there is none. Please make sure you have the paperwork available if your cavity walls have been insulated.
   
   
5. If your double glazed windows were fitted after 2002 and the date is not visible in the units, please have paperwork available to show the installation date. This can have a positive effect on the EPC.
   
   
6. Boiler information: I will try to establish the exact make and model of the gas or oil heating boiler. Where this is possible, the exact efficiency of the boiler can be established. This is likely to give a higher epc score than the software default setting for the type of boiler. Establishing the boiler details from visual inspection can be difficult, so please have any information manuals or service history available.
