All Rental Properties Will Need To Achieve a "C" Rating By 2030

EPC

What Is An EPC?

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a document that provides an energy efficiency rating for a property, ranging from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).

It also includes recommendations on improving energy efficiency and helping property owners reduce energy costs and environmental impact.

Why Do I Need An EPC?

Whether you're a homeowner, landlord, or estate agent, an EPC is essential for several reasons:

Legal Requirement: You must have a valid EPC when selling or renting out a property. It’s part of the compliance process for property transactions.
Transparency for Buyers and Tenants: Prospective buyers or tenants can make informed decisions based on the property’s energy efficiency, helping them estimate future energy bills.
Higher Property Value: Properties with higher energy ratings tend to be more attractive to buyers and renters, potentially increasing your property’s market value or rental price.
Potential to Save Money: With the EPC's recommendations, you can invest in energy-saving improvements that lower utility bills in the long term.

How Does an EPC Assessment Work?

An EPC assessment involves a certified energy assessor visiting the property to evaluate several factors, including:

Insulation levels
Heating & Water systems
Windows and doors
Construction materials
Heat loss and party walls

This is achieved by creating a floor plan and taking photos of the required elements as evidence.

The information is then compiled to generate the energy efficiency rating and any recommendations for improvement.
