When is an EPC Required?
An EPC
is a legal requirement when a property is sold or rented out. It is the responsibilty of the Vendor or Landlord to ensure
that one has been prepared and this must be made available either to the prospective purchaser or tenant as the case may be.
An EPC is valid for 10 years.
What does
an energy assessment involve?
To produce
an Energy Performance Certificate, an energy assessment involves visiting the property, measuring all rooms and
drawing a floor plan. A visual assessment of the construction of the property and heating system is made
(e.g. walls, floors, roof, loft insulation, boiler, heating controls etc). The assessment normally takes
30 to 45 minutes depending on the size and complexity of the property. Larger properties can take up to
2 hours.
The information obtained is then input into
government approved software which then produces the Energy Performance Certificate and any recommendations. When
we are satisfied with the report and recommendations, it is then lodged on the central register and no further amendments
can be made.
If you have the 24 digit reference number from the top right hand side of the EPC it can viewed and downloaded from the national
register by clicking on this text.
