• For a remortgage
• Making a claim for funding under the Renewable Heat Incentive Scheme (RHI)

All the above illustrations 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 kind of EPC is called a SAP EPC and is required by building control to demonstrate compliance with building regulations for any recent construction work you might have undertaken. Should you need a SAP EPC, then CLICK HERE. If you’re not sure, simply phone us for further advice.
How To Get One Done
More Info
The assessor will take dimensions of the property plus gather specifics of the current lighting, heating, glazing and current insulation. An average size property takes between 20 and 30 minutesto do..
The obtained information then input approved government software which then produces the EPC. The Certificate will then be lodged on the national EPC register and you will receive it by email typically in 2 to 3 days. In the event you need it urgently, for a small additional cost, we are able to arrange for you to get it the same day.
That’s it, its all done. Your EPC is then valid for ten years

Tips On How To Improve Your EPC Score
Here we will provide you with some basic guidelines so that your Energy Performance Certificate reflects your home in the very best light.
These will enhance your EPC rating
More Info
What we should prevent is the Assessor putting into the software program the term “as built” for items which are needed where no evidence is gathered. When the term “as built” has to be used then the software program will default to the worst case scenario based on what would have been there when the property was constructed. This may have a negative impact on the {rating of the EPC}
If you can provide documentary proof of any of these types of improvements then these can be shown on the EPC and will probably increase the rating of your EPC.
• Any wall insulation Cavity/Internal/External– Any guarantees, or invoice from the installer
• Solar PV or Solar Thermal – An MCS certificate from contractor.
• Floor insulation/ sloping ceiling insulation – receipt from installers showing thickness installed.
• Roof extensions year it was constructed – building control sign off, dated architects drawings.
• Double glazing improvements to the majority of the property – Certificate from Fensa, or dated receipt from the contractors.
These make the biggest difference
More Info
• The heating system.
• The main source of fuel for heating the property
• The levels of insulation in the property.
Main Source of Fuel
UK properties are typically heated by either of these fuel sources: gas, peak rate electric, off peak electric, oil, bulk or bottled LPG. So for example a property heated by gas would cost around 4.64 pence per kwh and the same property heated by bottled LPG 23p per kwh. {*source 2019 Nottingham Energy Partnership.} So using a typically semi-detached using in the region of 12,000 kwh to heat the home, it would cost £596 to heat with gas compared to £2,760 for bottled LPG.. Therefore running costs affects the EPC rating. Higher costs 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 may come as a surprise, but double glazing does not have as big an impact on the EPC as most people would imagine. Certainly not as much as the heating, the insulation and the type of fuel used as mentioned before. However, where it can have a larger effect, is when the home is upgraded from single glazing to double glazing. When you are improving from pre 2002 double glazing, to current double glazing, it will only show as a small rise in the energy rating of the property.
With double glazing the perception is generally experienced by the customer in terms of comfort from a decrease in draughts. Because the EPC doesn’t take into account the condition of any specific item, this comfort gain is not recorded.
Low Energy Lights
Again low energy lighting does indeed help the EPC because they are an inexpensive improvement that contributes to lower energy costs but nowhere near the same contribution as insulation, heating and heating controls.

This is when the landlord must work closely with the Energy Assessor to work out cost effective solutions to achieve the standards.
When the landlord has spent up to £3500 and the property still doesn’t achieve an E, then the landlord can apply for an exemption. We’re happy to provide advice all the way.
How To Find If You Have A Valid EPC
More Info
A recent article in the Telegraph taken from information on the register found out that around 250,000 investors are yet to comply with the new regulations. This article can be found here. Make sure you are not among them. Over time, we expect an increasing number of local authorities to get up to speed with enforcements.
These rules, however, are not intended to be onerous. The initial step to take is to get an EPC lodged on the register and should it be lower than an E, to show that you are taking or have taken steps to attain an E. Even if it doesn’t reach an E, there are specific exemptions that you might then be able to apply for. We can give you expect advice on all aspects of MEES.

What Properties Do Not Need To Have An EPC?
Are You Able To Let A Property Without Having An Energy Performance Certificate?
The EPC rates a property from A 100 (the most efficient) to G 0 ( the least efficient). The average UK property is a D60. Rental properties should be at least an E rating. If it is not an E then the landlord will need to undertake some of the recommendations on the EPC to lift the rating. If an E rating can not be achieved, then an exemption can be applied for by going to the Government website and applying for an exemption on the PRS register.

In addition to the Energy Performance Certificate the tenant would have had to be also provided with a gas safety certificate in addition to 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 proper legal advice so that all paperwork is given to the courts correctly.
