Order 17880

Order 17880 I am extremely disappointed with the service. 1) The inspector did not show up for the scheduled appointment. 2) Nobody bothered to call me to inform me that the inspector would not come, and I had taken a day off from work specifically for this appointment. 3) I called customer service four times to reschedule, and every single time, I was told that someone would call me back. Unfortunately, nobody ever did. 4) They charged me for a service that was never performed, and it looks like they are having serious difficulties actually delivering what they promise. The level of unprofessionalism is absolutely shocking. I have not seen such blatant disregard and ignorance towards a customer in a very long time. I have wasted my time, money, and energy dealing with a company that clearly does not care about its customers. Avoid this service at all costs!

Energy Performance Certificates (EPC): A Guide for UK Property Owners

Energy Performance Certificates (EPCs) are essential for property owners, landlords, and businesses in the UK. They provide valuable information about a building’s energy efficiency, helping buyers and tenants make informed decisions. Understanding EPC certificates, their costs, and legal requirements is crucial for compliance and property value enhancement.

What is an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC)?

An EPC is a document that rates a property’s energy efficiency on a scale from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It includes recommendations for improving energy performance and reducing carbon emissions. EPCs are mandatory for selling, renting, or building properties.

Why Do You Need an EPC Certificate?

  • Legal Requirement: Properties must have a valid EPC before being marketed for sale or rent.
  • Improved Property Value: A better EPC rating can increase a property’s market appeal.
  • Lower Energy Costs: Recommendations help reduce utility bills.
  • Avoiding Penalties: Failing to provide an EPC can lead to fines.

EPC Certificate Costs in the UK

The cost of an EPC varies based on factors such as property size, location, and the assessor’s fees. Typically, prices range between £60 and £120. Commercial EPCs tend to be more expensive due to complex assessments.

How to Get an EPC Certificate

  1. Find an Accredited Assessor – Use government-approved EPC assessors.
  2. Book an Assessment – A qualified professional inspects the property’s insulation, heating systems, and energy use.
  3. Receive Your Certificate – The EPC is valid for 10 years and must be renewed for new transactions.

Improving Your EPC Rating

  • Upgrade insulation (loft, cavity wall).
  • Install energy-efficient windows and doors.
  • Use renewable energy sources like solar panels.
  • Replace old boilers with energy-efficient models.

EPCs are a crucial aspect of property management in the UK. By understanding their importance, costs, and how to improve energy ratings, property owners can comply with regulations and increase property value.
