Why You Need One
More Info
• For a remortgage
• Making a claim for funding under the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme (RHI)
• Getting grant funding through the Energy Company Obligation Scheme (ECO)
All the above examples refer to existing residential properties. If you have been requested by building control to provide an EPC in conjunction with recent building work, they will be looking for what’s called a SAP EPC. This type of EPC is known as SAP EPC and is needed by building control to show compliance with building regulations for any recent development work you might have undertaken. If you need a SAP EPC, then CLICK HERE. If you’re not sure, just give us a call for more guidance.
How To Get One Done
More Info
Your Assessor will take dimensions of the home and also obtain information about the existing lighting, heating system, glazing and existing insulation. A normal size property will take around 20 and 30 minutes..
The information is then entered into approved government software which then produces the EPC. The EPC Certificate will then be lodged on the national EPC register and you will receive it by email typically in 2 to 3 days. Should you require it quickly, for a small additional cost, we can arrange for you to get it the same day.
That’s it, its all completed. Your EPC is then valid for 10 years.

Tips On How To Improve Your EPC Score
Here we will provide you with some simple tips to ensure that your EPC shows your home in the very best light.
These things will improve your EPC rating
More Info
Your Assessor will take photographic or obtain documentary evidence that is important for audit purposes. If no evidence is obtained then the Assessor has to enter the term “as built” in to the software. In this situation the software program will use what the property would have been built with based upon it’s age.
Whenever you can supply documentary proof of any of these sorts of improvements then this can be shown on the Certificate and is likely to enhance the rating of your EPC Certificate.
• Any type of wall insulation Internal/Cavity/External– Any guarantees, or receipts from the contractor
• Solar PV or Solar Thermal – MCS certificate from contractor.
• Sloping ceiling insulation/ floor insulation – receipt from contractor showing thickness fitted.
• Roof extensions year it was constructed – completion certificate, dated architectural plans.
• Double glazing improvements made to the majority of the property – Certificate from Fensa, or dated receipt from the installer.
These make the biggest difference
More Info
• The main source of fuel for heating the property
• The levels of insulation in the property.
• The heating system.
Main Source of Fuel
UK properties are generally heated by either of these kinds of fuel sources: gas, peak rate electric, off peak electric, oil, bulk or bottled LPG. So for instance a home heated by gas would cost around 4.64 pence per kwh and the identical home which is heated by bottled LPG 23p per kwh. {*source 2019 Nottingham Energy Partnership.} So with a typically semi which uses around 12,000 kwh to heat the property, it would cost £596 to heat with gas in comparison to £2,760 for bottled LPG.. Therefore running costs influences the Energy Performance rating rating. Higher expenses equates to lower scores.
Levels Of Insulation
Good levels of insulation ensures that the demand on the heating system is kept down, and it also results in a more comfortable home with lower running costs.
The Heating System
An efficient heating system with good controls such as room thermostat, thermostatic valves and programmer helps to keep energy bills down. This all contributes to a better rating on the EPC.
These make less difference
More Info
This particular one will come as a surprise, but double glazing does not have as big an effect on the EPC as most people would think. Certainly not nearly as much as the heating, the insulation and the type of fuel used in the property as previously mentioned. Where it can have a greater effect, is when the property is up-graded from single glazing to double glazing. When you are changing from pre 2002 double glazing, to current double glazing, this will only show as a small rise in the energy rating of the property.
With double glazing the perception is usually noticed by the customer in terms of comfort from a reduction in draughts. Because the EPC doesn’t take into account the condition of any particular item, this comfort gain is not recorded.
Low Energy Lights
Again low energy lighting does help the EPC as they are an inexpensive improvement that contributes to lower energy costs but nowhere near the same contribution as heating controls, heating system, and insulation.

EPCs And Rental Properties

What Is The Minimum Rating For A Rental Property
More Info
If your property is currently an F or G it cannot legally be let on a new rental. If there is an existing tenant in the property and the rating is lower than an E, then the landlord has got to take measures to get the rating up to an E.
How To Find If You Have A Valid EPC
More Info
A recently available post in the Telegraph taken from information on the register discovered that around 250,000 landlords are yet to comply with the new regulations. The article is available here. Ensure you are not among them. As time goes by, we anticipate a growing number of Councils to get up to speed with enforcements.
These rules, however, are not meant to be onerous. The initial step to take is to get an EPC lodged on the register and if it is less than an E, to demonstrate that you are taking or have taken actions to attain an E. Even if it doesn’t reach an E, there are certain exemptions that you may then be able to apply for. We can provide expect recommendations on every aspect of MEES.

Which Properties Do Not Require An EPC?
Can You Let A Property Without An EPC?
The EPC rates a property from A 100 (the best) to G 0 ( the least efficient). An average UK property is a D60. Rental properties have to be at least an E rating. If it is not an E then the property owner would have to undertake some of the recommendations on the EPC to increase the rating. If an E rating cannot be attained, then an exemption can be applied for by going to the Government website and applying for an exemption on the PRS register.

Along with the EPC the tenant will have had to be also provided with a gas safety certificate and also a copy of the government guide “How to rent”. The “How to Rent” guide can be found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-to-rent
Landlords are always advised to get correct legal advice to ensure that all records is given to the courts correctly.
