What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) measures the energy efficiency of a property and provides it with an energy rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient).
The report also provides practical recommendations that will improve the property’s energy performance and potentially reduce energy bills.
Most properties being sold or rented in England will require a valid EPC before they are marketed.
An EPC remains valid for 10 years, unless significant improvements are made and you obtain a new certificate.
Do I Need an EPC?
You will normally require an EPC if you are:
- Selling your property
- Letting a residential property
- Remortgaging
- Marketing a property for sale
- A landlord granting a tenancy
- A property developer selling newly created dwellings
If you’re unsure whether an EPC is required, our team will be happy to advise.
EPCs for Landlords in Canterbury
Landlords have legal responsibilities regarding the energy efficiency of their rental properties.
Current regulations generally require privately rented properties to achieve at least an E rating, unless an exemption applies.
If you’re purchasing a buy-to-let property in Canterbury, obtaining an EPC early allows you to identify potential improvement works before letting the property.
We regularly work with landlords, portfolio investors and letting agents across Canterbury.
EPCs for Homeowners Selling Property
An EPC is one of the first documents you’ll need when placing your property on the market.
We can usually arrange an appointment quickly, helping avoid unnecessary delays to your sale.
Estate agents and solicitors frequently require the EPC reference number before marketing begins.
EPCs for Property Investors
If you’re purchasing a property to renovate or let, the EPC can provide valuable information regarding insulation, heating efficiency and potential improvements.
Many investors use the recommendations within the EPC when budgeting refurbishment projects.
As experienced property professionals, we understand the needs of investors and developers and can often identify opportunities to improve future EPC ratings.
Commercial EPCs
We can also assist with Commercial Energy Performance Certificates for offices, retail premises, industrial buildings and other commercial properties.
