Energy Performance Certificate
NEWS: The EPC is changing. From April 1st 2012, all Energy Assessors are required to have studied and passed an exam on the new format and requirements, or they will not be allowed to supply the EPC any more.
You require an Energy
Performance Certificate in order to sell a property. Rental properties also need an
EPC, and it should be in place before the property is advertised for
rent. You do not have to order the
EPC from an estate agent. In fact, if you obtain it independently from
Chris Watkins, it might cost less, and you have it in your own hands. You still need one even if you
sell your property privately. The EPC is valid for TEN
YEARS, so you do not need to get a new one for a change of tenant or a
sale if the property already has an existing one. If you obtain your own EPC
directly from Chris, you can choose whichever estate agent you like,
take the property off the market, change to another agent, using the
same original EPC because it will be yours. You can even transfer it to
the new owner, who can use it for the remainder of its validity, even
for rental if required. If you know your property
already has one, but you have lost your copy, you can report a "lost
RRN" at www.epcregister.com and you should be able to get hold of it. If you experience any
difficulty with this, or you do not know whether the property has a
valid EPC or not, please give Chris Watkins a call and he will gladly
check it out for you (no charge).
Chris (of Homecertify)
is readily available to supply an EPC and will always attempt to
inspect and deliver the report as quickly as possible. The survey involves around 40
minutes at the property, and the report is usually available later the
same day.
