Are you a EPC Surveyor or Landlord?

Did you know that every empty property needs an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) before being marketed for sale or let? It's crucial to have one done to ensure a successful sale or letting of your property.

Present

Understand Improvements: EPCs help you identify recommendations needed to bring your property up to the necessary standards.

Valuation Considerations: More valuers are factoring in EPCs when pricing rental and sale properties due to rising utility bills.

Buyers and Occupiers: Increasingly savvy about EPC ratings and may offer less for lower-quality properties.

Existing Resident: Properties with an 'F' or 'G' rating cannot be let, so any historic EPCs (valid for 10 years) will need updating to meet the minimum 'E' rating and beyond.

Future

EPC Calculation: Although the biggest elements are exterior walls, internal space use, floors, and ceilings, often the smallest changes can provide the biggest wins. For example, simply charging lightbulbs can change your EPC rating and save significant electricity costs.

Up to date EPC: Will ensure your property is market-ready and compliant with future regulations.

Upcoming Regulations: By 2030 newly built, properties must achieve an EPC rating of 'C'.

Attract Buyers/Tenants: Demonstrate to potential buyers or occupiers why they should choose your property over others.
