Share-A-Flat now provides Domestic Energy Performance Certificates (EPC) to home owners, landlords, estate agents and HIP providers, specialising in the London, Middlesex and Hertfordshire areas. A requirement for EPCs is compulsory for domestic rented and flatshare properties from 1 Oct 2008. Our panel of very select Domestic Energy assessors are independent, fully qualified and insured to issue the EPCs.
What is an EPC?
The Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) gives home owners, tenants and buyers information on the energy efficiency of their property. It gives the building a standard energy and carbon emission efficiency grade from ‘A’ to ‘G’, where ‘A’ is the best and with the average to date being D/E.
EPCs are measured using the same calculations for all homes, so you can compare the energy efficiency of different properties.
Part of the EPC is a recommendation report which will list the potential rating that your home could achieve, if you made changes. The report lists improvements that you could carry out and how this would change the energy and carbon emission rating of the property.
You can use this information to:
• cut your fuel bills
• improve energy performance in your home
• help cut carbon emissions
