FAQs

An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is more than just a legal requirement—it's a crucial guide that sheds light on the energy efficiency of properties in London. Rated from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), an EPC helps homeowners, prospective buyers, and tenants understand a property’s energy use and the likely costs tied to it.

In London, where the pulse of the property market beats fast, an EPC is indispensable. It not only ensures compliance with UK legislation—which mandates an EPC for selling, renting, or constructing properties—but also boosts a property's appeal. With recommendations included in each EPC, property owners can make informed decisions to enhance energy efficiency, potentially leading to significant savings on utility bills and contributing to environmental conservation.

An EPC is valid for ten years and can be used for various leases during that time if the grade is neither F or G. This is because any property let on a new tenancy or a fixed term renewal of rental must have an EPC rating of E or above as of April 1, 2018. To keep a valid EPC at all times, a fresh EPC should be obtained for a rental property as soon as a current certificate expires.

Domestic Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). The key elements include:

• Area of the Property: The total area is important as larger properties tend to consume more energy.
• Heating Unit and Heating Controls: The type, efficiency, and control systems of your heating (boilers, heat pumps, thermostats, etc.) impact your EPC rating. Efficient heating systems with proper controls help reduce energy use.
• Insulation of Walls, Floor, and Roof: Proper insulation reduces heat loss and contributes to better energy efficiency. Poor insulation, especially in external walls and roof spaces, can lead to heat loss.
• Windows and Draught Proofing: The quality of windows (e.g., double or triple glazing) and the presence of draught-proofing materials can significantly reduce energy consumption and improve EPC ratings.
• Renewable Energy: If the property uses renewable energy sources (solar panels, wind turbines, etc.), this positively affects the EPC rating.

By addressing these factors, property owners can significantly improve their EPC rating and, ultimately, the energy efficiency of their homes.
