What is an EPC?
-
Did you know that an EPC is current for 10 years? Furthermore, it can be reused as many times as required within that timeframe.
-
​Where an EPC is required and no valid certificate exists, commission one before marketing the property for sale or rent. Arrange the assessment early and check any applicable exemption.
-
So, if you are advertising a building for sale or rent any person acting on behalf of the seller or landlord must ensure that an EPC has been commissioned for that building.
-
EPCs must be created by an accredited energy assessor who has the relevant insurance to carry out the assessments.
-
Regulations require EPC's to be given free of charge to the person who becomes the buyer /tenant of the property in question.
-
What does an EPC do? An EPC shows the energy efficiency rating of properties. This is the A–G rating for a building.
-
EPCs should also include a recommendation report, this is to show the client how they can improve the energy efficiency of the property.
-
​Use the government EPC register to check an existing certificate, its expiry date and recommendations. Funding is subject to current scheme criteria; an EPC does not guarantee a grant or finance.
EPCs for mixed premises in Coventry
A flat above a Coventry shop, a converted house with several occupiers or premises with communal heating need a clear survey scope. Tell us which areas are homes, which are used for business, and how each part is accessed and heated.
Send a floor plan showing separate units, shared entrances and plant rooms. Confirm who can provide access to each occupied area and any shared heating equipment. We can then establish the appropriate assessment scope before quoting.
For homes, gather evidence of insulation and heating upgrades. For business premises, include the floor area, use, lighting and heating or cooling details. Email your Coventry address, existing EPC reference and timescale to info@nrg-uk.co.uk.
