When Is An EPC Needed?
Home-owners are required to present an EPC when both selling and renting their property. The certificate should be presented and available while marketing the property with an estate agent. Many of our clients also request an updated EPC on their property when they have changed the fabric of the building or installed new energy saving heating systems etc. If you think you may benefit from an updated EPC on your property and would like a free impartial discussion with us about the level of benefit you would gain from an updated EPC, we are always happy to discuss.
What is an EPC Cotgrave NG12
EPC stands for Energy Performance Certificate and is an assessment of how energy efficient a property is. The assessment involves a fully qualified and accredited Domestic Energy Assessor visiting and inspecting the property being assessed. The assessment looks at two main factors relating to the dwelling. How efficient the property is at creating or using incoming energy.
How efficient the property is at generating the energy which it uses
How efficient the property is at retaining the energy that it uses
Landlords and Minimal Energy Efficiency Standards (MEES)
Minimum Energy Efficiency Standards were recent regulations that were introduced in an attempt to safeguard UK tenants against low energy efficient properties. The new rules state that a rented property must be at an E level energy rating on its EPC. This has prompted many Landlords to both address their properties energy saving measures and also update their EPC assessment in recent years.
Preparing for your EPC Cotgrave NG12 Inspection
Please note that our assessors are experienced in inspecting properties alone and without the presence or assistance of the properties homeowner. So if you can not attend the property dont worry, we can still deliver your EPC report, as long as we can gain entry to the premises. If you can attend at the time of the inspection, then please kindly ensure the following access requirments:
The assessor can gain entry to every room and bedroom in the property
The assessor can gain entry into the Loft of the property, if physically possible
The assessor can gain access to the rear and side of the property to ensure a full visual external inspection of the building
Understanding Your Properties Energy Rating
Following the creation of our clients EPC reports we often encounter a request for understanding as to the final rating a property has received. Our assessors are both experienced and well trained in educating and informing our clients as to the reasoning behind their properties rating. Although we are always happy to discuss each rating on an individual basis it is important to remember the following factors which do have an affect on final EPC ratings:
The properties detachment position: Is the property terraced or detached? It is important to remember the more an increased area of heat loss to a property will naturally hinder its ability to retain heat, particularly without additional efficiency measure in place, and subsequently potentially impact on its rating.
If the property is assisting in the generation of energy: Many of our clients ask why their property is a ‘D’ or a ‘C’ rating and not an ‘A’ or a ‘B’ and the most common answer to that question is that although the property has the ability to install energy producing measures such as solar panels heat pumps and wind turbines, they are currently not present in the property.
The expensive energy measure a customer has invested in is not the only beneficial measure they can invest in: We often have customers that are confused about their energy rating due to the fact they have recently invested in a good or improved energy measure. However, there may be other measures that are still worth investing in. An example of this may be the owners of a house in a rural setting that have recently recently purchased a ground source heat pump and are confused as to why their updated EPC rating is still below the maximum potential rating. This may me the case because the property could still benefit from the installation of Solar Panels and even a wind turbine, meaning although the owners had invested in one good energy measure for the property there may have been other that are still advisable to invest in.
