All the above illustrations refer to existing residential properties. If you have been asked 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 particular EPC is produced along with SAP calculations to show that building work has met certain standards required by the building regulations. If you’re unsure, just contact us for more guidance.

Tips On How To Boost Your EPC Rating
Here we will give you some simple tips so that your Energy Performance Certificate shows your property in the very best light.
These things will enhance your EPC rating
More Info
The Assessor must take photographic or gather documentary information that is necessary for audit reasons. If no proof is gathered then the Assessor has to enter the term “as built” in to the software. In this case the software will use what the property would have been built with determined by it’s age.
If you can supply documentary proof of any of these kinds of improvements to the property then these can be shown on the Certificate and is likely to enhance the rating of your EPC Certificate.
• Solar PV or Solar Thermal – MCS certificate from installer.
• Floor insulation/ sloping ceiling insulation – receipt from contractors showing thickness installed.
• Roof conversions year it was constructed – completion certificate, dated architectural plans.
• Double glazing improvements made to the majority of the property – Fensa certificate, or dated receipt from the installer.
• Any wall insulation Internal/Cavity/External– Any guarantees, or receipts from the contractor
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 homes are generally 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 around 4.64 pence per kwh and the similar house heated by bottled LPG 23p per kwh. {*source 2019 Nottingham Energy Partnership.} So using a typically semi-detached which uses around 12,000 kwh to heat the home, it would cost you £696 to heat by gas as compared to £2,760 for bottled LPG.. Therefore running costs impacts the Energy Performance rating rating. Higher expenses equals 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 improvements to the double glazing will make a difference, the biggest difference is only really achieved when upgrading from single glazing to doubled glazing. If you are simply modernising from pre 2002 double glazing, this would only show as a small increase in the energy rating of the property. With double glazing the perception is generally sensed by the customer in terms of comfort from a reduction in draughts. Since the EPC doesn’t consider the condition of any specific item, this comfort gain is just not measured.
Low Energy Lights
Again low energy lights does help the EPC because they are an inexpensive improvement that contributes 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 needs to work closely with the Energy Assessor to work out cost-effective ways to achieve the standards.
If the landlord has expended 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 guidance 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 landlords are yet to comply with the new rules. The information can be found here. Make sure you are not among them. Over time, we anticipate an increasing number of local authorities to get up to speed with enforcements.
These rules, having said that, 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 show that you are currently taking or have taken steps to reach an E. Even if it doesn’t achieve an E, there are certain exemptions that you might then be able to apply for. We can give you expect advice on every aspect of MEES.

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