What is an EPC
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required when a house is sold or rented.
This is an EU directive in compliance with the Housing Act 2004, and the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive.
The EPC will tell you how energy efficient your property is, and suggest how you can improve the energy efficiency of your property. This can only be carried out by accredited Domestic Energy Assessors (DEA) and Home Inspectors.
All new rentals and sales now require you to have ordered and paid or committed to pay for an EPC prior to marketing.
An EPC now lasts for 10 years.
G B Domestic Energy Assessors are able to provide this service and can negotiate price for multiple properties.
