Yes. If you are going to market your property for sale or rental then you will need an EPC (Energy Performance Certificate). What many people don't realise is that their property may already have one, especially if it was built in the last 10 years or has previously been a rental property.
It's free to search the national register for EPC certificate by clicking the link below and following the instructions. Once you have your report make sure to check that it meets the minimum E rating and is dated within the last 10 years.
EPC regulation is part of a broader European strategy for cutting carbon emissions. Legislation is proposed that would see lower scoring property removed from the rental market by 2018. At the moment it does not matter what the energy performance of your property is, so long as you have a certificate for it. If you have recently made energy saving improvements to your property then getting a new certificate could be a good investment. Home hunters are increasingly aware of rising fuel bills and a good energy performance rating can increase your properties rental or sale value.
No problem. We offer them at cost to anybody who advertises with us.
