EPC Liverpool – Energy Performance Certificates

An EPC is a requirement applies to all buildings, whether sold or rented, including domestic properties on the market since 2007.

Valid for 10 years, an EPC is an energy assessment, measuring the efficiency of a property and its impacts on the environment. Rated between A and G, the most efficient properties will fall towards A on the EPC scale, and the least towards G.

Mandatory for all properties on the market, an EPC helps homeowners/landlords, sellers and buyers/tenants save money on energy bills and protect the environment. Providing accurate assessments, future forecasts, and recommendations, EPCs are instrumental when cutting and managing energy supply.

What are Energy Performance Certificates (EPC)?

EPCs assess and highlight the efficiency levels of a property, prior to its sale or rental. Completed by an energy assessor, EPC assessments are used to gauge the environmental impacts that a property carries.

Falling across an EPC rating spectrum, properties can rank from A to G, reflecting the energy saving capabilities of a building. Assessments will also offer future forecasts and tips on how to improve the efficiency of commercial and domestic energy, such as better insulation and double glazing.

Domestic and commercial EPCs help to save money on energy bills, by recommending energy saving solutions. Certificates also help to safeguard the environment, by setting minimum legal standards.

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) are valid for 10 years and must then be reassessed in order to place a property on the market. Standing as a legal requirement, a property owner who fails to invest in an EPC will incur a monetary penalty, charged as a breach of duty.

Who needs an EPC?

Homeowners and landlords with active properties on the market will need an EPC, available via a Liverpool EPC provider.

All property owners have a duty of care and responsibility to provide a full overview of energy levels.

Properties on the market for sale can rank between A and G. The average in the UK ranks at a D rating. There are however minimum energy efficiency standards (MEES) for rental properties, requiring a minimum rating of E. If properties are assessed below E, improvements must be made before a property can be rented. In some circumstances, an exemption can be applied for if all improvements have been made, discounting MEES.
