- EPC Certificate London
You must now have an energy performance certificate if you are a residential homeowner, business property owner, or landlord wanting to sell, rent, or lease your property (EPC).
IN LONDON, DOMESTIC, COMMERCIAL, AND SAP EPCS
An Energy Performance Certificate is required if you own a residential or commercial property in England or Wales and wish to sell or rent it (EPC). It is required by potential renters and purchasers to assess energy performance and get insight into the energy efficiency of their investment.
What are the various EPCS types?
An EPC compares your home to a normal house or structure in terms of energy efficiency and carbon emissions. Depending on the sort of property you possess, you can obtain various forms of EPCs.
We can assist you with home, commercial, and SAP EPCs. Consider the following options:
EPCS FOR HOUSEHOLDS
Owners and landlords who wish to sell or rent out residential real estate must give potential purchasers or tenants with a domestic energy performance certificate.
With us, this is simple to organise. Simply submit your information and payment via our website or over the phone, and our local assessor in London will schedule an appointment for you within two business days.EPCS FOR BUSINESS
EPCs indicate a property’s energy efficiency. The scale goes from A to G, with A being the most effective. If you have a potential renter or buyer for your commercial property, you must provide an EPC. Otherwise, a penalty of 12.5% of the property value, or £750, will be imposed.
An EPC for a commercial building contains a suggestion report that details how to increase the energy rating. The certificate is valid for a period of ten years.
If the commercial property is brand new, you’ll require a separate EPC. This is known as the On Construction certificate, and it should be arranged by the person in charge of Building Regulations completion.
SAP EPCS
SAP EPCs are necessary for newly constructed properties, recently converted homes, and properties that have increased their number of dwellings. Our certified SAP energy assessors rapidly accomplish this desktop-based operation without the need for a site visit.
We develop this form of EPC using technical calculations and up-to-date software:
• A comprehensive SAP EPC
• A predicted energy assessment (PEA)
SAP EPCs are standard EPCs that are valid for 10 years and can be utilised for property transfers once they are completed.
Energy Performance Certificates can speed up the process of obtaining a home, commercial, or SAP EPC. You won’t have any problems selling, renting, leasing, constructing, or converting your property this way. Please contact us.
WHEN DO YOU NEED AN EPC?
In general, an EPC is required when selling or renting a house. Here’s a quick rundown of both scenarios and what to anticipate from each:
Selling your property
When your home goes on the market, the UK government introduced legislation requiring you to have ordered or be in possession of an EPC.
Your real estate agent has 28 days from the start of the transaction to upload the EPC.
There is no minimum EPC rating for houses for sale at the moment. Regardless, whether you’re transferring a land title from a pension fund, giving your property to a relative, or selling it to someone else, you’ll need an EPC.
Renting your Property
If you intend to rent or lease your home, you must first get an EPC before inviting possible tenants to view it.
Unless you’ve filed a suitable exemption, you’re responsible as a landlord for ensuring that your rental property’s EPC rating does not fall below ‘E.’ You might face a Publication Penalty and a fine of up to £2,000 if you ignore the Compliance Notice.
Meanwhile, if your property is freshly built, recently renovated, or has had a recent rise in the number of dwellings, you must provide a SAP EPC.
Also, keep in mind that the following property categories are not required to get an EPC:
- Places of employment
- Buildings on the verge of being destroyed
- Temporary structures that are utilised for less than two years
- Commercial buildings with a maximum floor space of 50m2 that are completely independent.
- Low-energy industrial locations, workshops, and non-residential agricultural structures
