Residential EPC’s
EPCs and all you need to know
An EPC is a comprehensive review of a property’s energy efficiency.
It’s a four-page document that rates a property from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
This isn’t just about how green you are; it’s about the pounds in your pocket too.
An EPC provides an estimate of heating and power costs, along with the property’s carbon dioxide emissions.
The ABCs of EPC Ratings
- A to G ratings: Just like school grades, but for your house.
A is top of the class, and G means there’s room for improvement - Numerical scores: These range from 0-100, with higher scores indicating a property that’s better for both the environment and your bank account
- Current and potential scores: The EPC shows where you are now and where you could be after some energy-efficent upgrades
- Recommendations: From loft insulation to LED lights, the EPC gives tailored advice on how to boost your rating
When do you need an EPC?
Whether you’re selling your cosy cottage or renting out a city flat,y ou’ll need an EPC within seven days of putting the property on the market. Since 2008, it’s been the law in England and Wales.
Ignore this, and you could be hit with a fine of up to £5,000
