What Are EPC Ratings?
An Energy Performance Certificate or EPC is mandatory if you plan to sell or rent your property. It provides a rating for your property based on its energy efficiency, with A being the most efficient and G the least.
The certificate also states the level of carbon dioxide emissions your property produces and offers recommendations for improving it.
Under the Domestic Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES) regulations, renting a property with an EPC rating below E is illegal unless an exemption applies.
An EPC is also required for newly built properties. Securing an EPC is likely to improve your property's energy efficiency if you are carrying out certain types of work, such as installing solar panels or a new boiler.
Who Are Exempt?
Buildings under the following categories are exempted from needing an EPC:
Different Types of EPC
Commercial EPC
Commercial buildings rented out or sold must have a valid commercial EPC. The certificate gives the building a rating from A to G, based solely on its carbon dioxide emittance and not on its average annual energy consumption.
Residential EPC
All homes that are put up for sale or rent must obtain a residential EPC. This includes apartments, flats, houses, maisonettes, and bungalows. The certificate gives the property a rating from A to G and estimates the annual energy costs.
SAP EPC
All newly built or converted homes must have an EPC before being marketed for sale or rent. An SAP EPC is also required when the number of dwellings within your property changes, for example, from four to five flats.
Unlike residential and commercial EPCs, an SAP doesn't warrant an on-site inspection. You simply need to provide drawings and specifications of your property to the assessor.
How EPC Inspections Are Conducted
EPC assessors will need access to all parts of the property to evaluate it accurately. This includes bedrooms, lofts, cellars, and any outbuildings.
During the inspection, they'll take note of the property's physical features, such as the type of insulation and glazing, as well as the heating and hot water systems. To support the findings in their EPC report, they will also take photographs of:
The process usually takes about 30 minutes to compete for a typical two-bedroom house.
