EPC Certificate

Wait a minute, before you place your property up for sale, can you provide potential buyers with an EPC Certificate? It's been well documented that home information packs (HIPS) are no longer needed for domestic properties, but a valid EPC Certificate still has to be produced. If you plan on putting a property up for sale the simple truth of the matter is, you're going to need an EPC Certificate. There's not getting around it, don't try avoiding the issue, obtain a valid EPC Certificate and you'll be in the position to market your property. Where do you get an EPC Certificate from? Specialist property service companies employ energy assessors. They'll complete an EPC Certificate for home owners or landlords that might require a Gas Safety Certificate.

What is an EPC Certificate?

An energy performance certificate shows how energy efficient your property is. It's measured on a scale of A G, with A representing a highly energy efficient home, and G indicating a poorer performing property. CRB checked energy assessors will visit your property to carry out the inspection and before you are issued with the EPC Certificate a number of factors are taken into consideration. The age and location of your house is a consideration, the type of heating, hot water system, insulation and whether double glazing is fitted will also have a say in the results. Calculations are based on a combination of the findings of the energy assessor and the EPC Certificate is completed within 12 hours of the visit. Book your energy assessment through a specialist service that also provides a Gas Safety Certificate when required.

I've got an EPC Certificate from 12 months ago do I need a new one?

A domestic EPC Certificate is valid for 3 years, commercial EPCs for 10. Your 12 month old certificate is fine if you want to put your property back on the market. Have you made any improvements to the home in this time though? Possibly you've had new double glazing fitted, a new boiler installed or cavity wall insulation? If so it's worth paying for a new EPC Certificate because the energy efficiency of your home will have improved and this could help the sales process. Whether you are putting your house up for sale or want the rent the property to a tenant, an up-to-date EPC Certificate should always be available, get yours from a company that provides landlords with a Gas Safety Certificate.
