All the above examples refer to existing residential properties. If you have been requested by building control to produce 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 needed by building control to show compliance with building regulations for any recent construction work you have undertaken.

Your assessor will take dimensions of the home and also collect information regarding the current lighting, home heating, glazing and current insulation. A normal size home usually takes between 20 and 30 minutesto do..
The details are then input approved government software which then produces the certificate.

Ways To Enhance Your EPC Rating
Here we will give you some simple tips so that your EPC reflects your home in the very best light.
These will enhance your EPC rating
More Info
Your Assessor must take photographic or obtain documentary information that is necessary for audit purposes. 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 types of improvements to the property then this can be shown on the Certificate and is likely to enhance the rating of your EPC Certificate.
• Loft extensions year it was constructed – completion certificate, dated architects plans.
• 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 installers 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 instance a house heated by gas would cost you 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 in the region of 12,000 kwh to heat the home, it would cost you £596 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 increase is only really achieved when you are improving from single glazing to doubled glazing. If you are simply upgrading from pre 2002 double glazing, this would 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 decrease 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 lights does indeed help the Energy Performance Certificate since they are an inexpensive improvement that leads to cheaper 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 to take steps to get the rating up to an E.
How To Find If You Have A Valid EPC
More Info
A recent article in the Telegraph taken from information on the register found 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 more and more Councils to get up to speed with enforcements.
These policies, however, are not meant to be onerous. The 1st 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 actions to attain an E. Even if it doesn’t reach an E, there are specific exemptions that you could then be able to apply for. We can give you expect recommendations on all aspects of MEES.

Which Properties Do Not Need To Have An EPC?
Can You Let A Property Without Having An EPC?
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 carry out 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.
