Are you looking for an EPC in Bury? This assessment will show the overall energy efficiency of the dwelling and acts as a guide to house buyers and tenants when looking at properties.
Energy Performance Certificates can only be produced by someone who is a registered member of a Government approved accreditation scheme. This is to ensure all EPC's are produced by suitably qualified individuals, D.E.A (Domestic Energy Assessors).
It is a legal requirement to have a valid Energy Performance Certificate (EPC) when a building is sold, rented or constructed. ... You must get an approved /accredited Domestic Energy Assessor to produce the EPC, which provides information about a property's energy use and typical energy costs.
Put simply, an EPC tells prospective buyers or tenants what to expect from energy bills relating to the property. It looks at the cost of heating and lighting the property, and shows what the property's carbon dioxide emissions are likely to be.
You've probably seen a similar rating graph to an EPC on the front of new household appliances, like cookers, washing machines and fridges. An EPC for a property works in a similar way; it has a rating system ranging from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient), but in addition it will tell you how your property's energy efficiency rating could be improved, and what the new rating could be if you were to carry out the recommended improvements.
The EPC, which is valid for ten years, must be obtained before you put your property on the market.
