| Residential:
As of 14th December 2007 every residential property advertised for sale in England and Wales will require an Energy Performance
Certificate (EPC) which is one of the key components
of the Home Information Pack (HIP).
Lettings/Landlords:
As of 1st October 2008 every residential landlord will need to comply with Government legislation and provide an Energy Performance Certificate for a property with a new tenancy.
The EPC will provide an energy rating for the home
from A-G and the certificate will also offer advice on
how to save energy around the home and reduce carbon
emissions. If advice is followed the householder could
substantially cut their energy costs by up to £300
a year whilst benefiting our environment.
