Energy Assessment & EPC

Sample image

Overview

SBS has partnered with Compliance to offer Energy Assessment & EPC to customers.

Why is an Energy Performance Certificate needed?

• An Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) is required when a dwelling is either being built, rented or sold.

• For existing homes, it must be provided free of charge by the owner of the property to prospective purchasers or tenants. When selling a property the estate agent will incorporate it into their sales details.

• An EPC rates the energy efficiency of a property using the Government approved RdSAP methodology. It also provides information on how to make your home more energy efficient and reduce carbon emissions.

• The EPC is required by law as a consequence of the UK Government’s adoption of the European Energy Performance Directive.

Who can produce an Energy Performance Certificate?

• The Energy Performance Certificate (existing dwellings) can only be provided by a trained and accredited domestic energy assessor.
