Cooper Allwood provide standalone Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) for the sale or letting of your property. The EPC is a compulsory part of the Home Information Pack (HIP) and we can provide an EPC for your solicitor to include in the pack. We also can provide and produce the whole HIP for a fixed fee. Also an EPC is required when you let your property. It must be available to new tenants before they move in. A Certificate for a building gives the building an asset rating based on its energy efficiency. Data is collected by the domestic energy assessor such as floor area, construction, insulation, heating and lighting and inputted into a management software program. Certain assumptions are made on how the home is used by the occupiers. The EPC produced will give the building a rating from A to G. An A rating shows it's very efficient, meaning lower fuel bills, while G is inefficient, meaning higher fuel bills. The Certificate will also show the building's environmental impact by indicating its carbon-dioxide emissions. The EPC will also show recommendations as to how the property could be made more energy and cost efficient. The potential ratings included within the Energy Survey indicate the effects of each recommendation. |
