Why is an EPC important?
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required for domestic properties in the UK when a home is built, sold or rented out. The purpose of the EPC is to provide information about the energy efficiency of a property, helping potential buyers or tenants understand how much they might spend on energy bills and what the environmental impact is.
01
Energy Efficiency Rating
The EPC rates the property on a scale from A (very efficient) to G (very inefficient), providing insight into the energy performance.
02
Legal Requirement
It is a legal obligation to have an EPC for properties being sold or rented, with potential fines for non-compliance.
03
Informed Decisions
An EPC helps buyers and tenants make informed decisions regarding energy costs and environmental impact.
04
Improving Energy Efficiency
The certificate includes recommendations for improving energy efficiency, which can lead to reduced energy bills and a smaller carbon footprint.
Overall, having an EPC in the UK not only ensures compliance with legal requirements but also empowers property owners and tenants to make sustainable choices for their homes.
