What is An EPC?

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 of the above examples refer to existing residential properties. If you have been asked by building control to produce an EPC in conjunction with recent building work, they are looking for what’s called a SAP EPC. This kind of EPC is produced along with SAP calculations to demonstrate that building work has met certain standards required by the building regulations. If you’re not certain, just contact us for further advice.

Ways To Enhance Your EPC Rating
Here we will give you some simple tips to ensure that your EPC reflects your home in the very best light.
These things will improve your EPC rating
More Info
Your Assessor must take photographic or obtain documentary information that is necessary for audit reasons. If no proof is obtained then the Assessor has to enter the term “as built” into the software. In this case the software will use what the property would have been built with based on it’s age.
Whenever you can supply documentary evidence of any of these sorts of improvements to the property then this can be shown on the Certificate and will probably enhance the rating of your EPC Certificate.
• Loft conversions year it was constructed – completion certificate, dated architects drawings.
• Double glazing improvements made to the majority of the property – Fensa certificate, or dated receipt from the installer.
• Any wall insulation Cavity/Internal/External– {guarantee, or receipt from installer.}
• Solar Thermal, or Solar PV – An MCS certificate from contractor.
• Floor insulation/ sloping ceiling insulation – receipt from contractors showing thickness installed.
These make the biggest difference
More Info
• The levels of insulation in the property.
• The heating system.
• The main source of fuel for heating the property
Main Source of Fuel
UK homes 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 house heated by gas would cost somewhere in the region of 4.64 pence per kwh and the similar house 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 home, it would cost £556 to heat with gas in comparison to £2,760 for bottled LPG.. Therefore running costs influences the EPC 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
Although upgrades to the double glazing can make a difference, the greatest difference is only really achieved if you are improving from single glazing to doubled glazing. If you are simply upgrading from pre 2002 double glazing, it will only show as a small improvement in the energy rating of the home. With double glazing the perception is typically experienced by the customer in terms of cosiness from a reduction in draughts. Because the EPC doesn’t consider the condition of any specific item, this comfort gain is simply not measured.
Low Energy Lights
Again low energy lighting does indeed help the Energy Performance Certificate as they are a low cost improvement that leads to reduced energy costs but nowhere near the same contribution as heating controls, heating system, and insulation.

What Is The Minimum Rating For A Rental Property
More Info
This is when the landlord would need to work closely with the Energy Assessor to determine cost effective solutions to achieve the standards.
In the event the landlord has put in up to £3500 and the property still doesn’t achieve an E, then the landlord can apply for an exemption. We’re happy to give assistance all the way.
How To Find If You Have A Valid EPC
More Info
A recent report in the Telegraph taken from information on the register discovered that around 250,000 landlords are yet to comply with the new regulations. This article is available here. Ensure you are not one of them. As time passes, we anticipate an increasing 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 should it be lower than an E, to demonstrate that you are taking or have taken steps to reach an E. Even if it doesn’t reach an E, there are specific exemptions that you may then be able to apply for. We can give you expect recommendations on every aspect of MEES.

Which Properties Are Exempt From Requiring An EPC?
Can You Let A Property Without An EPC?
The EPC rates a property from A 100 (the most efficient) to G 0 ( the least efficient). The rating of an typical UK property is a D60 Rental properties must be a minimum of an E rating. If it is not an E then the landlord would have to undertake some of the recommendations on the EPC to improve the rating. If an E rating cannot be achieved, then an exemption can be applied for by visiting the Government website and applying for an exemption on the PRS register.
