In short, an EPC rating is a review of a property’s energy efficiency. ..Once issued, the EPC will be valid for 10 years – if your EPC is older than this, you’ll need to get a new EPC issued before you can sell or rent your house.
Apart from listed buildings, every house needs to have a valid EPC before it can be sold.
\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_accordion_item _id=”53″ ][cs_content_seo]Is it a legal requirement to have an EPC?\n\nIt is currently a legal requirement that all property that is marketed for sale or to let carries a valid EPC. The are a few exceptions that the EPC regulations allow for, such as agricultural buildings and buildings to be demolished.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_accordion_item _id=”54″ ][cs_content_seo]How do I get an EPC for my property?\n\nEPC certificates are valid on a property for 10 years.

We not only carry out the rating but we can also give you advice on how to improve the efficiency.\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_accordion_item _id=”56″ ][cs_content_seo]How is an EPC carried out?\n\nThe energy survey needed to produce an EPC is performed by an assessor who visits the property, examines key items such as loft insulation, domestic boiler, hot water tank, radiators, windows for double glazing, and so on.
\n\n[/cs_content_seo][cs_element_accordion_item _id=”57″ ][cs_content_seo]Is it illegal to let a property without an EPC?\n\nIt is against the law to advertise a property for rent without an EPC.
