Daljit was very friendly during his visit and answered all the questions I was throwing at him and did a fantastic job. There was a bit of hiccup in the original schedule but that was something out of his control. But he always responded and kept me informed. Overall very satisified with the service from AG Site Solutions.

Great experience with Olayinka. He asked to alter the appointment time but was not put out when I said that was impossible for me. He did the EPC and house plan with a direct and straightforward approach. He also later edited the house plan slightly (to include room sizes) at my request. A job well done.

Denis carried out 3 EPC examinations consecutively at different properties. He was efficient & friendly. The certificates were loaded onto the EPC Registry website the same day. He charged a competitive rate & I would certainly recommend him. I will also be contacting him later this year for gas safety inspections.

What Exactly Is An EPC Certificate?

An Energy Performance Certificate, or EPC Certificate for short, is a four-page document that rates a property's energy efficiency on a scale of A to G, with A being the most efficient.

An EPC Certificate gives you an estimate of how much it will cost to heat and power your home. It also offers energy-saving advice, the cost of implementing them, and the potential savings in pounds and pence that each one may generate.

When Should I Get An EPC Certificate?

An EPC Certificate must be obtained within seven days of a property being advertised for sale or rent; However, they should do this for you if you use an estate agency or rental agent.

In England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, EPC Certificate became a legal requirement in 2008, and in Scotland in 2009. Without an EPC certificate, sellers and landlords are not able to sell or rent their properties and can be fined up to $5,000.

Is An EPC Certificate Required For A Commercial Property?

If you own a commercial property, you are required to carry out an EPC Certificate in the following cases:

You either want to rent or sell your property.
A construction project is completed.
Parts of the building are modified for separate habitation (e.g., heating and ventilation systems are added).

Conducting an EPC is not a project that you can undertake all alone.

Calling an experienced professional assesor, therefore, can ultimately save you time and money. What many do not realize, most importantly, is that hiring a professional to conduct your EPC inspection can also icrease significantly the value of your property.

What Is The Procedure For Obtaining One?

EPC Certificates must be completed by a certified home energy assessor, which you may find in your region by searching our list of professionals.

Through our platform you can easily compare prices and reviews of professionals that are near your location. Before booking your appointment, you may want to write down your qualifications and preferences in order to find among of our assessors, the one that suits your needs.

What are you looking for in a professional?
How many years of experience do you want him to have?
What do you expect from their work?
How much money are you planning on spending to your EPC inspection?

You should know all these factors beforehand in order to find the best EPC assessor that suits your requirements.

Remember: Communication with the professionals is the key for a high quality service result.

Is It Possible To Obtain An EPC Certificate Online?

An accredited domestic energy assessor requires a physical survey of your house for an EPC certificate, which you can schedule online through our platform. Then, you can easily find your certificate online when it is ready.

Is It Possible To Fail An EPC?

An EPC Certificate is a survey that assigns a letter grade to your home on a scale of A to G, with no pass or fails.

If you rent out your house, however, the legislation requires the EPC Certificate to indicate an E rating for all new tenants and all current tenancies as of April 2020. This means you'll need to get entry to the property to complete the EPC Certificate.

Is It Possible To Rent A House With An EPC Rating Of F?

No, if you rent your home and the EPC Certificate gives it a grade of F or lower (G), the law requires you to carry out the required repairs, which might cost up to £3,500 (inclusive of VAT).

Note: By 2030, the government plans to raise the minimum EPC score for privately leased dwellings to C.

Do I Always Require An EPC?

There are a few circumstances where you wouldn't need an EPC. If your home is classified, protected, or in a conservation area, for example, some energy-efficient upgrades may have an unacceptable negative impact on its look.

If you're unsure, check with the conservation officer at your local government.

An EPC Certificate is not required for a rental room within a home, but it is required for a self-contained unit within a bigger house with its own front entrance and services.

Do You Require An EPC Regularly?

The EPC certificate is for the property, not the individual who commissioned it, and it is valid for ten years once finished. During this time, EPC certificates can be utilised many times.

What Should I Do If I Have A Query Regarding My EPC?

If something on your EPC certificate doesn't make sense to you or doesn't seem correct, contact the energy assessor who completed the report first.

If they cannot fix your problem, you may contact the accreditation programme, whose contact information is also included on your EPC. In some cases, an EPC certificate may not be necessary.

These are the ones in England:

A structure that has been designated as a Listed Building by Historic England.
A structure that serves as a place of worship or for religious activity.
Industrial sites, workshops, or non-residential agricultural structures having a projected term of use of two years or less.
Free standing structures (not including residences) having a useable floor area of less than 50 m^2.

If the property is rented out on a licence, no EPC certificate is necessary. Licences are not the same as tenancies, and for the purposes of the energy legislation, a licence is not a tenancy.

A tenancy gives the owner exclusive ownership, but a licence allows the licensee to perform something on the property. Instead of tenure, holiday houses and lodger arrangements are rented on a licence to occupy basis. See a lawyer if you're not sure what kind of tenancy agreement you have.

How Long Does An EPC Last?

The validity of an EPC is 10 years from the date of issue. As long as the EPC certificate is less than 10 years old, it is unnecessary to obtain a new one every time there is a change in tenancy or when the property is sold.

Within the ten-year term, an owner, landlord, or tenant can commission a new EPC certificate, which will replace the previous EPC and become the current one for that property.

When a 'trigger point' is reached, a new EPC certificate is required. When the property is next sold, rented to a new tenant, or substantially remodelled, this might be a 'trigger point.' There is no necessity to commission a new EPC certificate after it has reached its ten-year expiration date.

Because the EPC is based on the property rather than the owner, it will continue to be valid even if the property is transferred to a new owner if it is less than 10 years old.

What Happens If I Don't Receive An EPC Certificate?

When a property is legally obliged to have an EPC, failure to do so is a violation, and the owner may face the consequences, including fines. If a landlord fails to give an EPC to an assured shorthold tenant, they will be unable to remove them using a section 21 notice.
