What is a EPC?

A Energy Perfomance Certificate provides information to a buyer about a residential property they’re thinking of buying. The EPC is a legal requirement and must be provided by the seller or their estate agent. Producing EPC pack is the first part of the house selling process, as without ordering it a property cannot be put up for sale.

Why is an EPC required?

The energy performance certificate ('EPC') is a certificate to provide each property with an energy rating similar to those than can be seen on fridges and freezers. Areas for energy savings are also highlighted.

The EPC was included to meet the governments commitments set by a European directive, that all member states have to implement. The EU found that a significant proportion of energy was being used by residential properties. Increasing the energy efficiency in millions of properties across Europe, in even a small way, will result in significant overall reduction in energy usage.
