An EPC certificate has the benefit of highlighting areas of high energy usage. Landlords are then able to accurately target areas that can help to save tenants money by increasing the energy efficiency rating. EPC’s will also show a landlord the best properties prior to purchase.

Owners or landlords of domestic properties to be sold or rented are now required by law to give a Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) to a new buyer or tenant. According to current legislation, if you intend to sell a domestic home, you must order an EPC before putting it on the market. Within 28 days of marketing, all estate agents must file a comprehensive EPC certificate check. A Landlord must furnish a potential tenant with a copy of the current domestic Energy Performance Certificate for his specified space under the same law.

EPCs are issued using standard building information. This makes it simple for potential buyers and tenants to evaluate the energy efficiency of all the properties they’re considering. It also shows them how much heating and lighting a building might cost before signing a contract. Each domestic EPC certificate has a report outlining the cost-effective strategies homeowners or businesses may take to improve their property’s energy efficiency and rating.
