Find out what people need to know about EPCs,
whether people need them and how to get them.
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) assigns
a building's internal energy efficiency a rating
from A to G. The EPC report with recommendations
identifies potential areas for improvement.

For potential buyers and tenants to consider
energy efficiency as part of their

before the sale or lease.
Commercial EPCs must be created by a certified

complexity, and heating and ventilation systems
of the building determine the type of
Non-domestic EPC required.

and costs. The endorsement additionally proposes

simply indicates that people's property is

Why should I get an EPC? An Energy Performance

energy performance, including suggestions for
improving it. If people rent, lease or sell a
property, people must have an EPC. However, even
if people don't plan to sell people's homes,
it's still a good idea to look at people's
property's Energy Performance Report

(EPC) to see what people can do to reduce
people's carbon footprint and energy consumption.
The property's energy rating, which ranges from A
(very efficient) to G (inefficient) on the EPC,
is valid for ten years. people can access the EPC

authority.
How much does an EPC cost? A rough estimate of
the cost of an Domestic Energy Assessor Braintree

will come through later).
EPC certificates are valid for 10 years. Breaches
can result in landlords being fined up to 5,000,
so it's worth checking that people's property
meets the minimum energy efficiency requirements
and that people have a valid EPC certificate
before renting. Source
