Since 14 December 2007 every home put on the market, no matter what size, must have a Home Information Pack. Your property can be put on the market as soon as your Lite Hip has been completed, which should only take a few days. Every rental property must have an Energy Performance Certificate before being let.
The Energy Performance Certificate or EPC is the energy efficiency rating of a property.
The rating is represented graphically on a scale from A to G, where A stands for the most efficient energy performance and G stands for the least efficient energy performance.
Side-by-side energy performance of buildings, the EPC depicts the environmental impact of a building in terms of Carbon Dioxide or CO 2 emissions.
The assessor produces EPCs alongside an associated report which suggests improvements to make a building more energy efficient.
EPC’s help you choose a more energy efficient home to rent or buy which will save you money in the long run.
