What is an EPC?
An EPC provides important information on the existing status and importantly how to improve the energy of your property, to reduce carbon emissions and also reduce heating and energy costs. In many cases, dependent on the age of your property, insulations grants may be available to help achieve these savings and environmental improvements and, in turn reduce the running costs of your property.
Why do I need an EPC?
Climate change is becoming of increasing concern both for the UK and world wide. As a commitment the Government has placed a 60% reduction target for carbon dioxide emissions by 2050. Energy ratings are designed to be a measure of the fuel cost of a property. Energy conservation is clearly a good thing’ – everyone wins with energy conservation.

In additions to this, the conveyancing process will not be completed by your solicitor unless the EPC is made available for the property.
