When would I legally need a Domestic EPC?
It is a legal requirement to obtain a domestic EPC when you are selling or letting out a property. The responsibility for providing an EPC lies with the property owner or landlord who must provide the valid certificate free of charge to a prospective buyer or tenant. Estate agents and other third parties must ensure that an EPC has been commissioned before they can market a property for sale or rent.
Upon construction of a newly built residential property it is also a legal requirement to obtain an EPC. This ‘on construction’ EPC will confirm that the property meets the current building regulations
There are certain properties that do not require an EPC by law, such as a listed building. If you are unsure of the law, please contact us and we will be happy to clarify the legislation in relation to your property.
What information does a Domestic EPC contain?
An EPC is intended to provide prospective buyers and tenants of a building with correct information about the energy performance of the building and practical advice on improving such performance.
The EPC looks broadly similar to the energy labels provided on many household appliances. Its purpose is to indicate how energy efficient a building is. The EPC will provide an energy efficiency rating from A to G, where A is very efficient and G is the least efficient. The better the rating, the more energy efficient the building is, and the lower the fuel bills are likely to be.
Each energy efficiency rating is based on the characteristics of the building itself (the fabric) and its services (such as heating, ventilation and lighting). This type of rating is known as an asset rating. The asset rating will reflect the age and condition of the building. The EPC includes recommendations to help owners and occupiers to improve the energy efficiency of a building.
