Ensure Legal Compliance
You are legally required to show potential buyers and tenants of your property an energy performance certificate (EPC). It tells them about your property’s energy efficiency and the energy costs associated with utilising it.
EPCs use a scale of A to G which indicates if a property is very energy efficient and very energy inefficient respectively. It also contains recommendations for improving your energy efficiency rating.
Any property being sold, rented out, built, converted, or having major renovations done to it needs an EPC. If you do any of these things without one, you could receive a fine ranging from £500 to £5,000.
However, this isn’t a problem, because getting EPCs in Luton is easy with Energy Performance Certificates. Instantly get an online quote for your energy assessment by clicking the button below.
Types of EPCs
Residential EPC
Residential EPCs contain a property’s overall energy rating, environmental impact rating, and potential energy cost savings per year. Residential properties being sold or rented out must have an EPC rating of “E” or higher as required by the Domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standard.
There are a few exemptions to this. Properties may be below an “E'' rating if you only recently became a landlord, if you made improvements but the property still didn’t reach an E rating, or if the recommendations made are too expensive. An exemption will last 5 years.
Certificates are usually set to expire 10 years from the date of issuance. If you’re a landlord, any rented properties you have must always have an EPC, and you’re responsible for getting the energy assessments once the current certificate expires.
Commercial EPC
Commercial properties like malls, offices, and factories need a commercial EPC before they’re rented out or sold to buyers and tenants. Commercial EPCs show the property’s CO2 emissions measured in tonnes, helping buyers and tenants better understand the energy costs of their investment.
Your commercial property may be exempted from requiring an EPC if you can prove any of the following:
SAP EPC
If you’re carrying out the construction of a new building or converting a building and changing its function, you will need to provide the owner with a Standard Assessment Procedure (SAP) EPC.
Converting a building involves turning a residential building into a commercial building, turning outbuildings into investment properties, turning a single-family unit into multiple flats, and so on. You will also need an SAP EPC if you modify a property’s air conditioning, heating, hot water, or ventilation.
Fortunately, SAP EPCs only require you to give the assessor the drawings and specifications of the build.
