What is an EPC(Energy Performance Certificate)?
An EPC is a document prepared by a Domestic Energy Assessor,showing the current energy rating of a property as well as its impact on the environment.The document will contain some recommendations as to how the property might be made more energy efficient and its adverse impact on the environment minimised.Before a property can be put on the market,it is neccessary to have commissioned an EPC.Below is an extract from a Press Release from the Communities and Local Government on May 19th,2010:
In order to ensure that people selling their homes continue to make an Energy Performance Certificate available to prospective buyers, we have also laid before Parliament the Energy Performance of Buildings (Certificates and Inspections) (England and Wales) (Amendment) Regulations 2010 which introduce a number of new requirements including:
· a new duty on the seller to secure that an energy performance certificate (EPC) has been commissioned before marketing of the property commences where no such certificate is already available
· an EPC has been commissioned when a Domestic Energy Assessor has been instructed to prepare the EPC and the EPC has either been paid for or has given a clear undertaking to pay for it
· a new duty on the person acting on behalf of the seller to be satisfied that an EPC has been commissioned before commencing marketing
· a new duty on both the seller and a person acting on their behalf to make reasonable efforts to secure an EPC within 28 days
· all of the new duties carry fixed penalties where somebody fails in the duty conferred on them by the new regulations
An EPC is also required if a property is to be rented out under a short term tenancy agreement.
