ENERGY CERTIFICATES
An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is a legal requirement in England and Wales, showing the energy efficiency of a property. Rated from ‘A’ (most efficient) to ‘G’ (least efficient), it informs buyers and sellers about a home’s energy use and environmental impact, helping improve sustainability and reduce costs.
LEGAL DUTY
England and Wales comply with a 2002 European Directive on energy efficiency, enforced through EPCs. Although Home Information Packs were scrapped in 2010, the EPC remains mandatory for marketing properties, ensuring all homes have an official energy rating before sale or rent.
ASSESSMENT PROCESS
During the visit, an accredited Domestic Energy Assessor inspects all accessible areas, including lofts. Providing documents like insulation certificates helps accuracy. Photos are taken as evidence to support the survey, ensuring a thorough and reliable energy assessment for your property.
I have used EMS twice now and have been impressed with the fast, efficient and friendly service provided by James. EPC certificates received same day on both occasions. Thanks James.
