“From April 2018 Landlords cannot rent or advertise a property that is below an E rating. Landlords with homes below BAND E energy use rating, will have to carry out improvements to increase the rating by law.”
An EPC contains:
- information about a property’s energy use and typical energy costs
- recommendations on reducing energy use to save money
An EPC gives a property an energy efficiency rating from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient) and is valid for 10 years.
The survey is actually quite in depth and looks at various aspects of the building including:
- Build type
- Heating types
- Boiler model if applicable
- Heat loss perimeters and volumes
- Party wall types
- Loft insulation
- Other insulation present
- Different construction zones
- Fuel types
- Window types and more…
PENALTIES FOR NOT OBTAINING AN EPC
- The penalty charge specified where the building is a dwelling is £200.00.
- Local authorities choose body responsible for enforcement: Usually Building Control (for new build) and Trading Standards (for existing buildings).
- Enforcement agencies have the power to ask to see an EPC, and to issue a penalty if the certificate is not in place.
- Trading Standards have access to the Landmark Registry (where certificates are stored) to check that certificates have been produced.
